    That is pretty bad. Never seen a worse one in person but you reminded me of this post.

    Maybe he's got a stretched busa and it uses the two chain setup for a 330 tire?

    that could possibly be the worst simply because he took the time to clean it extremely well but somehow let the sprocket get that bad. at least the perfectly round one it looks like he never even looked at it till he had no go.

    450 hp burnouts will do that to a sprocket

    don't have a pic, but I once discovered my front sprocket only had rounded nubs when I was 2 up and 100 miles from home, the smoothness I gained from riding in the winter on ice, paid off,

    Sprockets? They last forever. Just keep tightening the chain. Those pics are reminiscent of every kids' dirt bike I've ever purchased from... a kid

    Yes. It seems to be a popular upgrade among Hawk owners.
