Hey there !
For 100 bucks.... you better check the machine out real good ! Sounds like there's
a whole mess wrong with it to me.
For 100 bucks if the engine is running it maybe just that, that you would be buying !
Check all the bearings front , rear, top & bottom, check to see if the shocks aren't beat to crap
more than likely they are, big bucks to replace if you don't have the cash.
Check the engine over real good for oil leaks, shifts good, no noise , 4 strokes are more money to
rebuild than 2 strokes.Just check it out real good before you transfer money!!
Overall those bikes were pretty good and still are if their cared for. They were pretty durable
and had many uses for them.Check that reverse works good without grinding gettin in gear cause they never did make a noise, just be thourgh in your inspection, see what it's been bored out to
and if they have had it rebuilt at all and by who. GOOD LUCK !!

be forewarned that 230s stock motors are notorious for smokeing!
