Old sprocket, time for a new one?

A good welder could fix that sprocket for you no problem. Or you can just use JB Weld.

Please say you're joking...right????
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Deliver more pizzas to buy new chain & rear sprocket....

Question, hows the front counter sprocket look?
Chances are that's toast as well...

Deliver even more pizzas to buy new chain & rear sprocket.... & front counter sprocket....

Joking? I don't know what you mean.

If no welder and you can't afford JB Weld, use chicken wire and bondo. Spray it with Pam and sun tan lotion to keep it from wearing. You get more miles that way, plus it eliminates premature wear of the bondo due to UV ray.

Hey, at least the previous owner swapped the direction of rotation on a regular basis. You notice how evenly it's worn, the teeth aren't "leaning" in either direction. :laugh:

Hehehe. Looks like I've been answered and then some. In my defense I do lube. I've had the bike for 2 years and maybe put 500 miles on it. It's always broken or taken apart. Live and learn.

toss the whole freakin works and buy good quality chain and sprockets sprocket specalties, p.b.i are good quality and please don't cheap out on the chain get a really good o-ring. ek, d.i.d, rk,these are some of the better ones there is also a pretty decent company that i've been hearing about lately that builds some pretty good stuff rebel gears made in the usa really good quality and they will build wierd stuff too from what i've heard. i have to go to them as i need a 39 tooth 530 rear sprocket for an 88 gsxr 1100 wheel that is on my big bike nobody has one so ill have to get custom made,. by the way i usally see ones way worse every spring when people bring the old bikes out of the wood work.

TB33, you're going to have to take your camera to work and take some pics of those "worse" sprockets. Maybe you could start a sticky titled "How Sprockets SHOULDN'T Look" or something like that.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Just try not to look at the pubes. You've been warned!:ohmy:
"Back in 1981, 3 of us set off from England for a 2-week touring ride around mainland Europe. I was on my T150V Triumph Trident and the other 2 had Z1000 Kawasakis. Before departing, giving more thought to the fact that we would only be away from home for 2 weeks rather than the fact that we would be putting in some serious mileage, one of the guys decided that with a fairly worn rear drive chain, he would remove a link to provide more adjustment should he need it. 5 days and 2500 miles later in Athens (yes, Greece!) the photograph shows the result. As you can imagine, the last 300 miles or so, were only achieved by tightening the chain to provide friction drive with what was left of the sprocket. Indeed, such was the strain on the chain, that the rollers had flats worn on them by the time we arrived at our final holiday destination. "
