yah, that sprocket went from waved, to skipping over. the problem with running that chain is that i gaurantee the sprocket has streatched it out, and as you put force on it, the streatched chain will only put force on 1 roller at a time and once again wear down the sprocket fast. the best thing that would happen is a chain break. i baught my chain on ebay for like $30 shipped. it's a race driven and has high tesil strength. so far, it has performed awesome over the past year, which is far better than i expected. check your swingarm bearings, too. grab the rear grab and jerk it side to side to see play in the pivot bearings

Maybe I'll have to just bite it and get a new chain as well. How many links should I get for a 13/41 setup or just stock length in general? And I don't really know much about chains other than there's o-ring and non o-ring, and x-ring chains? What's a good one for dune riding?

mine does the same thing in tree shots. i found sand being packed between the sprocket and chain causing it to skip. id bet thats what you got going on.

I recomend DID X ring chain, it is a decent chain for what it costs if it is properly cared for. I have never had a problem with one. For your gearing with a stock swingarm it should be around 102 or 104 links long.
