250-500cc Edumacate Me On Wr250

Looking at a 2008 WR250 for a back-up/loaner/beater. Bike runs good. All there....comes with some extras. I'm familiar with the inability to get some parts.

The main concern before I purchase is the bike needs a silencer....it's shot, it's the stock one and does not have a spark arrestor. Which when I search I am not seeing silencers for the 2008, but I do see them for the 2009 up.

Is there any significant changes from 2008 to 2009. It appears there is a generation switch but is it merely they offered a 250 and 300 after 2009 or is the bike completely different?

Just trying to decide if it worth the fight or not.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I do think FMF has specific options....but it lists it for 2009 and up.....which I don't think is any different than a 2008 which is what I am looking at.....however I need someone with much more knowledge to answer first before I pull the trigger on this bike. LEOs here are a bit finicky on dirt bikes in the forests.
