Is it worth welding the sprocket on?

Hey! That must be one of those 'limited grip' sprockets I keep hearing about! Genius!

81cr450:
If you have a good circlip on there call it good, that's all the later bikes use for retaining the sprocket . Just plan on finding a good shaft before your next rebuild

wierdo:
grind it off turn it around weld it back on and call it good for another year. :-D

Polar-Bus:
What many people don't realize is most sprockets are "case hardened" and they do NOT accept weld very good. I remember seeing some of the factory KX bikes in the pits at the nationals and Team Kawi would run a bead of epoxy or RTV around the output shaft circlip to prevent it from popping off.
