that will make acceleration slower you want to down gear the bike for acceleration and up gear the bike for top speed (longer in each gear)
you reduce the size of the front sprocket by 1 tooth will increase accell and decrease top speed 1 tooth down at the front is about 3 up at the rear sprocket
so for more top speed (pointless as the sv can barely rev out in top) an better cruising speed you ether want to go 1 tooth up on the front or 3 down on the back for a decent decrease in rev's for the given speed
for more pull/acell you really want to go up 3 teeth in the back as 1 down in the front increases chain ware, 3 up is a decent increase in accell and my bike toped out at about 126mph and was ok on the m-way if you dont use the motor way then you could go more extreme but, not the more teeth you add to the longer the chain will need to be to accommodate
