If the chain is beat-up, I'd say the first step would be to see what damaged the chain - I had something flick up off the road and bend one of my front rotors once....although it could be that your gearbox siezed and the sprockets damaged the chain I'd check out both options first; take off the front sprocket cover and look for foriegn ogjects.

It'd pay for someone with more knowledge to chime in now that I have the ball rolling Sorry I can't offer more help....
