after 12000 mi you outta just replace everything, sprockets and chain. you're 1/2 way thru the life of the sprockets already

Your front sprocket is just starting to wear. Replace both sprockets and ( obviously ) a new chain.

Check out ebay, you just might find a killer deal. I got a brand new factory chain for my '93 ZR1100 for $100 off ebay. It lists for over $300

Since I got the killer deal on the chain, I didn't bother with a chain breaker. I just removed the swingarm ( and the shocks, tire, chain guard, both pipes ) to put it on. Didn't really take that long either.

EBay of course! Let me check for you. There's a guy that I've gotten my last three chains from very cheap and he is very reputable!!! I'll see if he has a 520 and your sprockets!

That's a Sunstar rear sprocket, aren't those aftermarket? If so, the previous owner installed it.......You should count the teeth and compare it to what the owners manual says, to see if it's even the stock gearing.

yeah, it's stock gearing.
