You can certainly do it...there's plenty of chain slack to accept a larger sprocket, and you'll also shorten the wheelbase by a centimeter or so (probably not noticeable in terms of handling). As I'm sure you're already aware, this mod will give you slightly better acceleration, at the cost of extra rpms at any given speed.

As far as I know, you'll be the first on this forum to go up one in the rear. Most are interested in going the other way, in order to save a few hundred rpms in top-gear highway cruising.
