SAFETY FIRST: Protective gloves and eyewear are recommended at this point.

If your rear sprocket looks like the one in the photo, its time for a new one. You really should replace the countershaft sprocket and drive chain at the same time for maximum performance and longevity. See the Countershaft Sprocket topic and the Drive Chain topic for more information.
