I just went for a short ride today, but it seems to have fixed it. Thanks for
the replacement info. Makes sense though.

First off, did the replacement sprocket cure the problem ?
I'll reduce the rhetoric to a simple solution... replace both sprockets
and chain at the same time. NO short-cuts. Official Honda policy. All
components wear and should be replaced as a set. Failure to do so causes
drastic shortening of service life of all components. IE: a new rear sprocket
will wear quickly when used with a worn chain.

Last week, while riding my '91 750 I noticed a thumping feel through
my pegs, like I had a giant bubble gum stuck on my rear wheel. But it wasn't
keeping pace with the wheel rotation. I checked the front sprocket (rear is
new, chain too) and it looked worn, so I ordered a new one. When I took the old
one off, I noticed that it was put on backwards. How? It reads OUTSIDE 15 on
one side. So, is it just a cheap "fix" to flip the sprocket, or a bad idea?
There is just a small difference on each side for thickness. The new sprocket
can't be flipped.
