Well, yes & no; yes, you can use any sprocket as long as it's the same pitch as the front sprocket....

Keep in mind that, on a kart with smaller wheels, top speed will be lower than that of the bike it came off...

Acceleration and torque will be better.

Yeah, that was implied

hey what do you mean by pitch

Chain pitch is the distance between the centres of the pins on the chain or the distance between the tips of the teeth on a sprocket
