Shall we resolve oil or tyres next? Just kidding :smt018

I must admit, I looked at the sprocket made my opinion (which I'm keeping to myself) read other comments, thought "what?" and took another look and thought "well, ok, maybe", took another look and thought "nah".

Still, it keeps me occupied and stops me bothering other people (until I start thinking out aloud).

For what it's worth its staying on!

I've moved on to shall I flush the coolant and brake fluid now, both of which I think are more urgent

Yeah, replacing brake fluid regularly can prevent corrosion in the system and pay dividends in the longer term. Modern coolants are good for a least 5 years (10 years in a car) - how old is the Daytona ?

i can only see a pic of a front sprocket and to me it looks like new so no need to change it.

there is a simple test on rear sprockets/chains. if you can insert a pencil between the chain and sprocket tooth then your chain and sprockets need changed as they are fubar.

visual inspection, if the teeth on a sprocket are 'hooked' then they need changed.

i have said it before but a scottoiler is the key to chain & sprocket life. if you have OCD then use 'dry lube' and put up with shorter chain & sprocket life.

cracking the throttle open to get your kicks also reduces the life of tyres, chain & sprockets.

I used a scottoiler on my sv but there is little to no room to fit one on a Daytona 675 without it looking ugly and let's face it it's half the reason I got a 675
