Default sprocket safe or not

whats up guys


I was washing my bike yesterday and i noticed that im missing 2 teeth on my rear sprocket and was wondering if it were your bike and strapped for cash would

1)ride it till it started slipping?

2)put the bike up till I can afford c&s kit??

3)ride the **** out of it till cant no more??


my gut tells me to put the bike up till I can get parts but then again ive went through plenty of dirtbike sprockets just like this and just rode them out till their was no teeth left but thats also on dirt and barly hitting 60mph too and no cars to run you over


4)or do you have a chain and sprocket kit to trade me for a used powerstuntworks crash cage($300 new) and/or 12 bar ($150new)???

If it were me I would not ride until I could afford the new kit. There is too much at risk.

Chain and sprockets are cheap. Get on ebay.

Don't risk it.

Ride it! If something happens then, if your still able to process thoughts and type, tell us about it!

Only because im curious to see what will happen when you ride with missing teeth....

If it were me, I'd just order a vortex sprocket on eBay asap, super cheap! Get you going already, I know you'll miss riding if you don't.

Im tryn to get awaY from the stunter sprockets ,I have a 56 on there now and I feel like I'm riding around like I'm n 4th gear the whole time
But its all I've ever known (first street bike) except my buddies gixxer

It's more like a blessing in decise(spell?)
I've posted both the cage & 12 bar on cl and have had a couple of hits so far but nothing woth giving them up for

And BTW I rode around town for bout 45 min maybe gettn up to 50 mph tops ,the 70 degree weather was to nice to pass up
I was real careful/nervous the whole time
