Yep. Basically, you sacrifice top end for acceleration (aka wheelie action) by changing sprocket(s). I don't know the specifics for your bike and how much you'd lose/gain. Your speedometer and odometer will be all messed up, but there's fixes for that, too. Lot's of people do the sprocket change themselves, but some bikes can be tricky. Overall, WAY cheaper than an engine swap (although not as glamorous).
I would wager that the majority of the stunters out there have fooled with their sprockets to get the torque to the wheel that they're after. Maybe a google search for "Katana gear change" or "Katana Sprocket" would get you better info than on this board. This thread is swiftly getting into no-no territory.
