What is the differences between 04 and 05 450r's?

[rhinomxer]

I have an 05 and i found a service manual i want but its for an 04. I know they didn't change much, but What did they change? Is an 04 manual gonna work ok for an 05 for general maintenance stuff and whatnot?

[AtvKid4Eva]

yes alll maintenance will be the same.

The only things different were color choices (black option for the 05's) and some of the later 05's got the updated crank bearings. Your manual will work perfectly.

correct, they are the same
