I must post up a piccy of my front sprocket , it has quite pronounced hooking of the teeth. However it pales into insignificance compared to a chain I saw last year on a KTM 990 which was utterly shagged in under 10k miles. The chain literally could move 5mm across the sprockets, and was so stretched it was almost jumping the sprockets, looking like a chain too big for them- the worst wear I have ever seen........TBH I reckon I could have got a few thousand miles more out of my old transmission, but wanted a renewal as I am going on a big euro trip in early July.
It was good to strip out the swingarm too, as it had little grease on it , plus a full clean and regrease of the suspension linkages.
