Leaking rear shock - need technical drawing in Lima, Peru
I'm stuck in Lima, Peru with a leaking rear shock after 40k miles, much of it on dirt and gravel. BMW here can only change it, and it would take 25 (!) days to get it as they've got basically nothing on stock in Peru. Through KTM I got a hold of a guy who repairs rear shocks but he doesn't have the details of the original BMW shocks. I have a 2009 model R1200GS Adventure.
 Does anyone have a technical drawing or repair manual for this shock? Which type(s) of oil does it need? It would be great if someone could email me the drawing/manual and tell me about the oil. That would help a lot.
(If the repair should fail plan B is to order a Wilbers 640 - Wilbers say they would ship it within 5 to 7 days from Germany.)
