Like it says, 07 RM 250, currently has 10 oz. FWW, V-Force and PC Platinum. Vet expert, 65 yrs. on a tight turn track, no jumps. Only place I ride. Also ride 07 RMZ290 and 20 RMZ250. Really want to do more laps on the RM but in my old age and laziness the hit is pretty violent and does make my arms sore compared to my four strokes. Any actual experience whether a Bill's pipe would mellow the hit and improve the bottom any? Thanks

You want an FMF Gnarly pipe to improve low/mid. Both those are more mid/top pipes.

100% agree with the FMF Gnarly pipe. Had one on my 2006 RM with JD Jetting kit, V-force reeds, and Rekluse autoclutch and it was one of the best bikes I ever rode. Power was smooth and strong.

I have a FMF works fatty pipe and shorty silencer for your bike. $140 plus what it costs to ship to you.

Thanks all for your responses. Thought about the Gnarly some and decided that's more of a change than I was looking for. Don't really want to lose the long pull it has with the PC. For now I'll go with a little more gear and a lot now clutch work. The reason I bought it was that I missed a two stroke and that is how it performs.

FWIW-- Don't rule out the Gnarly because you think it will shut off too early, that's complete nonsense. As the others suggested above, for your type of riding you're doing and what you're hoping to achieve its the perfect choice. One of my bikes is an 07 RM250 as well and have the FWW ,VForce and the Gnarly pulls as long as you'll need it to . I'm 62 and an Ex-Pro 125 racer that loves to rev, but that RM hit too hard for me too at my age. I recently even went with a 38HV Lectron that smoothed out the hit even further. Great combination. Obviously your call, but you asked for advice and 3 of 3 suggested the Gnarly.

I haven't ruled out a Gnarly but I did just try a R304 shorty silencer instead of the full length PowerCore I was running. On a short test ride I'd swear it rolls into the power much smoother. Unfortunately it's too dry here right now for a good test and I'll be riding four stroke tonight.
