Default Help: Sprockets for Gladiator

Hey guys,

What does changing the sprockets in a bike exactly do?? How does it better performance?? Does it have a huge negative effect on efficiency?? How much would it cost??
My mech when asked to put a K&N told me that changing the sprockets would be a better option for performance.. I have a gladi guys... I know not a powerful bike in the first place to modify... But well i want to do watever possible to increase the performance of the bike as i cannot afford to buy any other bike now...
