Also make sure that your chain has the right slack, it shouldn't be too loose or too tight. You service manual should tell you the recommended range.

No, it wasnt used for stunting, but it was someone's track bike for a bit..I assume the broken tooth is from quite a few hard track miles.
The drive chain tensioner in the back says the chain is still good, but while replacing the sprockets it only makes sense to change the chain as well.
I thought I might clean off the wax after install and run the Dupont lube instead. Yes, I dont want fling, but will tolerate some if it keeps the chain in better shape. Apparently the Dupont dries very quickly and leaves behind some awesome protection.
