KDX Rear shock recondition

[ButcherToolz]

Hi there,

I've just bought a mint KDX200b 84. The only problem is the rear shock which is probably not un-common.
I'm in Wellington NZ, (You can catch me thrashing the green machine around Red Rocks) where is the best place to get it reconditioned as I read a few stories of shops not reconditioning them properly. Is it hard to do myself?

Thanks in advance,

(Also, would anyone know where I could get a digital copy of the owner manual?)

I may have a spare c3 shock around. Air cooled KDX's rock

I would be quite keen to know if you have a spare shock - how much would you like for it?

One question on the side though. I end up taking the tracks around Red Rocks as going over the beach (which has quite deep sand) the bike struggles big time and it sux cause I notice other people hooning over the beach which is much quicker.

Does my bike just suck on the sand or do I need to ring the life out of it?
(My tyres are excellent by the way).
