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
