All true, and believe it or not there are HUMANS in the world out there capable of cracking into that KYB and rebuilding it! Takes a bit of knowhow and new seals, but not Rocket Science either.
In less developed countries they actually FIX things rather than buying NEW!
Some guys are good, others not, so if you have a prob, find the best guy you can and give it a shot!
.... But ... if your Tenere is already HIGH MILEAGE ... I would consider doing a "freshen up" on your shock before you go. Maybe WATCH when they do it? ... then get a set of seals and stuff for it to take with you? Just a thought. (oh, and carry a set of fork seals along as well ... leaky fork seals are a PITA!)
