I'm looking at a 2nd hand CRF 230 in good nick but for a 'noisy' 2nd gear as per the owner's description.
He reckons it makes a 'grinding noise.'
All other gears are fine.
Is this a common problem with these bikes?
Any idea what it could be?
Worst case cost to repair?
Are these solid bikes, generally speaking?

Thanks!
