The main problem that arises from going bigger on the rear is you need a longer chain to keep your wheel base length.

14,39 if that is std is a lot better than the old 748r of 14,36!

If you do go up at the rear, not only would i get a longer chain to compensate for the biiger sprocket, i would also go longer still to achieve as near as i could to 500mm between the swing arm pivot and the centre of the wheel.
