How fast are you going when doing this? If it happens at any speed, I would guess the previous owner (PO)
probably bent a shift fork by downshifting from too high a rpm.

So coming to a stop sign & downshifting to 1st at 2500 rpm with the clutch pulled in on this bike is a no no?
I notice that when downshifting I get this crunch on each gear down progressively louder (first being the loudest). No issues going into gear, upshifting or when stopped from neutral to 1st.

I don't recall my CB 500 being this loud - then again that was almost 30 years ago!
