It would be better for the chain, when you change the rear sprocket
to one with two teeth more.

Sure the bike will accelerate better, but also fuel consumption will
be higher.
Single sprockets are available at every dealer who sells chainkits.
Check out the Accessory page concerning chainkits.
Maybe the chain will be too short, e.g. if your chainkit is very new.
But remember: in Germany it is forbidden to change the secondary
transmission. You lose your bike´s ABE (and in case of an accident
your insurance - whether you´re guilty or not!).
Ciao,
Marco
