Hi Guys, I just replaced my worn out chain on my 87 Sportster and I noticed that the teeth on the rear drive sprocket are worn to a sharp point. I ordered a new sprocket but it won't be in for a week. Can I run the chain on the old sprocket until next week when it arrives. This is NY and we are finally getting some nice weather. I don't want to miss a minute of nice riding time.

 

as long as no teeth are missing id run it just dont beat it

 

replace both sprockets and chain together.....i personally would not run your old sprockets with a new chain....just my opinion...have some patience and put it all together and ride it with all new parts
