If I get my swingarm extended, should I change the sprockets? And, Is true or false that I´m going to loose performance? Aceleration or top end?

Shouldnt loose top end at all, acceleration should be a bit faster as you can get the power down without wheely-ing as much. IDK about sprockets, depends on what you want the bike to do.
the swinger wont change anything performance wise except keeping the tires on the ground. maybe go dwn in the front if u wanna keep ure wheelie potential
yep I:I only change sprockets for the benefit of changin sprockets, not because of the arm
Oh ok, the thing is that I thought that I could loose or have more power, so I would change sprockets, but now I know!!!
changing sprockets will change things around a little bit, its all about mechanical advantage.
the smaller the front/larger the rear=more low end but less top end
larger the front/smaller the rear=less low end but more top end
this can be simply calculated by dividing amount of teeth on the rear sprocket by the amount of teeth on the front.
going 1 tooth one way or the other is like going a 3 teeth in the opposite direction on the rear, therefore larger changes should be made with the front, and the rear used to fine tune
