02 crf450r w/ an 04 head??

[DirtyDrew]

I just purchased a 02 crf450r from a local guy here. He told me the bike has an 04 piston and head with Kibblewhite valves and valvesprings installed with apporximately 15 hours. I want to buy a service manual for the bike and was wondering if manuals are the same for those two model years?? Anyone know?

For your purposes the 2002 manual would be best.

Thank You.
I'm assuming the valve adjustment procedure is the same between years then.

Yes, you can follow the 2002 procedure and you'll be set.
