Chain has strecthed and needs replacing if you can pull it away from at the back of the sprocket by a fair margin, and the old saying goes new chain means new sprockets, yes it is ideal but if ya sprockets are still in good nick, fuck it just buy a new chain.
Common cause of chain stretching, not oiled reguraly enough, overtightened on adjustment, wheelies :slap: , small front sprocket can cause a chain to wear quicker, did i mention wheelies?

youll prolly find a link has a colapsed bush , btw replacing a chain without doing the sprockets is a poor economic and mechanical decesion
an antithesis
Make sure the sproket is in line correctly with the chain

Yep change your chain...
My last chain lasted me 50,000kms... so that was pretty good going.
One before that 27,000kms...(that was the original chain)

Make sure you haven't over tightened it. Slowly rotate the rear wheel while checking the amount of slack on the top of the chain. It should have approx 30mm of movement at all times. If it goes really tight you'll be in for new bearings on the output shaft if you don't rectify that.
It's the chain as everyone has said

Dont buy a cheap chain and sprocket set, there is a lot of rubbish on the market these daysOriginally Posted by Mental-Trousers

Wow! That is impressive distances.
My original just made it to 11,000km - stupid spray on stuff. New chain is getting the works so is oiled & cleaned, should last longer I hope.
Yip, your chain/sprockets are worn out. Always replace both chain & sprockets.
Ring around bike shop because prices can vary greatly. Have been quoted $170 - $300 for sprockets and standard o-ring chain for my little FXR.
90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.
The instructions are simple...
Yup - new chain AND sprockets. If you do chain only, the old sprockets have wear which will rapidly 'transfer' to the new chain, effectively making it an old chain. As Flying Pony says, shop around. Most are available as a kit which is cheaper than seperate parts. If you can, get X-ring. Better than O-ring.
Oh and there is nothing wrong with spray-on chain lube. It's job is to reduce friction wear between the chain rollers & the sprockets. The chain has internal lube from new which is held inside the links/pins by the rubber seals (O- or X-rings). This lube cannot be topped up as it were by external application.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
Look Ma, no hands hehehe
Flyingpony and MSTRS - I still have the original spockets on as well...
and still in good nick. (79,000kms on the clock)
The instructions are simple...
Hmmmm.....not generally adviseable
Now THAT I doubt

Sprocket wear
Pic 1 shows wear that would necessitate replacement
Pic 2 shows typical 'trailie' sprocket showing wear at the extreme end

Could you explain the wear on the first sprocket? It doesn't look too worn to me.
Speaking of worn sprockets... take a look at this pic:
