Oh come on.  You can get at least a few more thousand miles out of it.

No no no...that sprocket looks brand new! Keep it for a few thousand more!

This is what a bad sprocket looks like:

Rear sprockets are flat, so flip it over and let it wear the other direction!

ive done this a few times. on my goped gsr25, the gear on the clutch bell had the worn signs, so i removed the sprocket via torch lol, flipped and rewelded. granted new bell/gear was 25. but welding materials were 5
