it will add to your top speed, but take away your acceleration a little bit. the more teeth, the more speed, but less acceleration, and visa versa.

It will depend on how much you weigh and if you were "overgeared" to start with.

Some manufactures overgear their machines by 15% to keep the engine from completely revving out thereby acting as a rev-limiter. If you further raise the gear ratio you may actually go slower.

On the other hand- theoretically speaking, given an unlimited amount of torque, the machine will have a higher top speed with a larger drive sprocket.
