Worn sprocket award 2018

[A993LAD]

A friend just bought an old gpz500.

Surely this is the most worn out rear sprocket ever seen on a road bike......

Yep that’s fked mate

[trickywoo]

Pretty good effort but if it wasn’t slipping its not as bad as another one we had on here.

A guy came on saying his bike was making strange noises and the clutch slipping. Turned out the chain and sprockets were totally fked.

Wow....

[cuprabob]

They certainly got their money's worth out of that sprocket

Wonder what the front one is like?

[STe_rsv4]

I take it the previous owners forte wasn't bike maintenance.....

[underwhelmist]

Are they halfway through doing a DIY belt drive conversion?

[dc2rr07]

I would suggest getting some chain lube as well after replacement.

[Ian Geary]

Tsk. Surely you could just turn it round and get another 50,000 miles out if it?

DIY slipper clutch.

Mine off a Fireblade, not the original and it’s done a further 25k miles on this sprocket.
