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.
