I've misplaced my service book and i need outer tube measurement for a 03 crf450 and 06 crf450. They are both stock.

That was for the 2003.

The 2006 is similar, Min 311ml - Max 407ml.

I believe standard is 375ml, but it is a "suit to style" measurement.

Too much makes them harsh, too little makes them bottom out easily.
Start with 375 and tune from there.

2003 - 195ml

2006 - 192ml

I usually use 200ml and bleed the excess off.
