I rode yesterday with the new Vortip insert and I am VERY impressed.  The bike is quiet and runs great.  It really seams a quiet as with the stock insert.  The midrange flat spot is gone.  Why Yamaha doesn't sell the bike with a similar insert eludes me.  They really deserve a dope slap for the stock baffle.  The only use for it is as a paperweight.  The Vortip is definitely the way to go with the WR250F.  With the stock insert I stalled the bike a lot; with the Vortip I didn't stall once.  And I crashed more when I used the stock baffle.  Ok, Ok, I'm sure that isn't related. :-)

Any by the way, my previous bike was a '98 XR400.  My WR250F is better in EVERY way.  More low end grunt (that amazes me); it's better through the really nasty rocks; it seems faster, more responsive, and more powerful; it's noticeably lighter; it handles better; the seat is more comfortable (57% less monkey butt); and it starts easier.  I think I'm in love.
