Well guys.

Got the job done over the weekend.   Got myself a standard O-Ring D.I.D chain after all with 17/41 sprocket setup.   Changed the rear pads and oil in the process.  Had to drill and re-thread the calipers as the bolts broke in the housing,  definate pain in the arse.  Other than that,  I would say it went pretty well.  Got the riveting tool and it made the whole change so much easier. 

Here are some pictures of the rear and front sprockets.   Needless to say,   the kook is back to "awesome" since the change. 

Cheers and thanks for all the help guys.

I would venture to say you got your moneys worth out of that sprocket. Big R

I would definately agree with that.  I don't know much about bikes,  but I don't think that type of wear is normal by any standards.

Actually, it is pretty normal wear for a sprocket that hasn't had its chain kept oiled and tensioned.  If you'd left it for a while longer those sharp tips would have worn away too and you'd have a "sprocket" that was just nubs, and probably a very stretched chain to match.  If you gave it a handful of throttle, you wouldn't go anywhere but the noise would sound like a machine gun as the chain jumped from nub to nub.
I saw a sprocket like I've just described on a little Suzuki 200 commuter that had had zero maintenance.  Owner couldn't figure out why it made so much noise :-)
