LOL Kavin should have known better than try an aluminum sprocket on his fz1.... Looks like a coswell cog...... FJ's will eat them as well, perhaps even faster... My advice is to always use good quality sprockets and good chains. My last set (chain and sprockets) lasted 38,000 miles cost around 300 dollars total. Its pricey, but nearly as high as a ring and pinion set for a bmw or any other shaft drive bike.. JMO

Yep the funny part was watching Carey being push started from a red light. Had to put the lightest person on the bike to limp her home.

And ya'll forgot to mention that Kavin was riding 2-up at the time of that sprocket episode as well! Yep I would say he rode the hair off that pony that day!
