Hi Wes,
You are only as old as you act. We were riding snowmobiles a few years ago deep in the mountains and came across a solo lady rider who was 78 years old on a 800cc Polaris mountain sled with a chainsaw strapped to the side!
I don't really have a go to forum for the WR250R but generally use Google search when I have a issue. I did solve the non-cranking problem we both had this summer. I replaced the fuel pump in each bike after mine quit on me again while getting ready to ride on the beach in Ocean Shores, WA :( A web search revealed this was/is a common problem but they changed the fuel pump design in 2014. I got the 2014+ model on Amazon for about $100 cheaper than a dealer and did the install myself (changed the spark plug while I had the fuel tank off since it is so hard to gain access). I still think it is a great bike...no other issues.
