You look like a prime contender for a Sidewinder Trimetal sprocket and an automatic chain oiler. 4k with that level of damage is ludicriously low mileage IMHO, even on a liter bike...

Insufficient or no oil. Aluminum sprockets need to be oiled about three times as often as regular sprockets because there is no polar attraction between the oil and the aluminum -- at least once per tankful.
Used a new sprocket with an old chain.
That's about all I can think of that would do it that bad, that fast. Even 4k of wheelies shouldn't eat the teeth like that with a healthy chain and sufficient oil.

always use a new sprocket with new chain.
It gets oiled weekly but probably not enough.
I drag race the crap out of it and thats all I can think of.
The drag strip ripped the teeth off of it.Live Fast, Die Stupid
