Sprocket wear

[Bcsmith]

Here is a photo of my rear sprocket at 18,000km. How would you all gauge the wear? Is it time for new chain and sprockets. Seems fine to me but I really not sure what to look for!!! Any advice is much appreciated

pointed teeth and uneven curves. Yours looks fine to me. I have 30,000 miles on my stock set.

Thanks I was hoping they were still fine. I have read other threads with others having to replace at very low mileage but if you are at 30,000 miles that is great news!!!

Best way to judge sprocket wear is to hold it up against a new one. I’d think at only 18000km, yours would be nearly new.

I think I changed my NC’s rear sprocket at 80,000 km and the wear was barely noticeable.

Nothing wrong with your rear sprocket. However it is the countershaft sprocket that wears quickest. Perhaps check that.

I got 58,200 miles out of my VFR 800 VTEC chain.

The rear sprocket was worn but the front one was a death star.
