well, if your changen the sprocket on the wheel then it needs to be smaller, if you change the sprocket on the motor it needs to be bigger. As far as how many teeth you should get im not sure, but generaly go up or down a couple of teeth and you should be were you want to be.

For more top speed you can change either the front or the rear. Stock size is 13/48. The rule of thumb is one tooth on the front is equal to three on the rear. So you could go with a 14 on the front or 45 on the rear. Enjoy!

you're getting good advice...front bigger, rear smaller...and 1 tooth up front is roughly equivalent to 3 in the rear. front sprockes are less expensive than rear sprockets. you'll also need to think about correct sizing your chain after you make the sprocket changes.
good luck and let us know what you end up doing.
