I'm not sure what you mean by top speed but if you're looking for top end speed take a quarter and a dime roll them both one revolution and you will see that the quarter goes further. So a larger tire will move the bike farther with less engine revolutions. You can also replace the front sprocket with a larger(more teeth) or the rear sprocket with a smaller(fewer teeth) or both and get a higher top end speed. Too much will slow you down off the line. Hopefully some one with more experience can tell you more exactly what you need but you will have to give more info. such as bike make, model, engine size, year, tire size, number of teeth on both sprockets.

Do you actually mean a smaller wheel or a smaller tyre? If you switch from 19" to 18" rear it will be slower top speed for same sized tyre. As tyres are available in different profiles you may find an 18" which is actually taller than the 19" so giving a higher speed with smaller wheel.
If the gearing is wrong (too high) a smaller wheel can make bike faster as you are now using all the rpm available instead of running out of power before you run out of gearing

No a larger wheel gives it a higher top speed, but is reduces the acceleeration from zero
I changed the tires on my truck

A smaller front sprocket won't advance your ideal end, via fact the motor would be making greater revolutions in comparison to the rear sprocket. an superior front sprocket or smaller rear sprocket delivers you greater ideal end, yet your acceleration will go through slightly. i might use no greater suitable than one greater enamel on the front, or 3-4 tooth much less on the rear till you get what you're finding for. chinese language airborne dirt and dirt motorcycles will possibly no longer have an significant areas grant, yet they might desire to compare comparable Honda or Yamaha products. Take the sprocket on your jap motorcycle broking and evaluate them to what's interior the areas bin.

No it gives you more out of the hole (taking off). If you want make it go faster run a smaller rear chain sprocket or a larger front sproket
