If it's a singel speed, or internally geared bike it might very well be called a sprocket. If it has external gears it's either a cassette or a freewheel. It might eve be a freewheel with only one sprocket on it.

What is a bicycle gear?
On a bike there's one(or more) front sprocket(s) by the pedals connected by a chain to one(or more) rear sprocket(s) by the rear wheel. As the wheel isn't driven directly by the pedals, and there's usually a difference in size between the front & rear sprocket this constitutes a gear.

How do you install a front sprocket on a Honda dirt bike?
Press down the rear foot brake and use a breaker bar or large ratchet with correct size socket to loosen nut on front sprocket. (never use impact wrench NEVER EVER!)Once you get the nut broken loose. Unclip your chain and put the gear in neutral and pull the chain through and set it aside. Put clutch in first gear and continue to ratchet loose the nut. Loosen nut all the way. Change out the sprocket. Tighten nut as much as you can with bike in gear. Put your bike back in neutral and feed your chain around the sprocket pulling it through and resting both sides of it on the rear sprocket where you will reclip the master link. Meeting both sides of the chain on the rear sprocket will make it easy to clip as the rear sprocket holds your chain for you. Once master link in chain is clipped. Step on the rear brake and crank down to spec lbs on the front sprocket bolt. If you don't know the foot lbs.. just make sure its real tight. Your done!
