You can buy a service manual $60-80 , great investment.

The only place right now is from the dealer. In a couple of years they will be available from other suppliers, but not right now.

I have the '14 KX450 service manual on PDF, but can't upload it here. It should be basically the same as the '15 except maybe the suspension information.If you want it shoot me an email I can sent the link to.

Thanks man, that will help a lot.

The local dealers want about R1400 (+- $110). I managed to find a 2012 service manual, but obviously 2014 is much better.

Even at $110, that is less than 10% of the cost of a bike and is only about equal to 1 1/2 hours of service work at a dealer. So, it would still be a great investment.
Back in the day a service manual would set you back about the same, but the bike was only about $1000 and still that investment was well worth it.

Slip, I have a '15 Kawi 450. I was going to try and do a shock oil change on my bike. I have the manual for a '12-'14 KX. My question is with the different shock, how different would the procedure be for doing the oil change? Do you need any specialized tools for the job?

Procedure is the same as the KYB shock. You need a nitrogen charging needle to fill the bladder and a small curved pick(some people use feeler gauges) to remove the circlips that hold in the bladder and seal head.
