    I thought the speed sensor ran off the front wheel on the Hyosungs.

    What else would change ... you mean apart from "actual increase" reading on the dial at the same revs ??? ...

    Gearing up on a 250 means LESS of both ...

    If the sensor is on the front wheel, changing your sprocket gearing or rear tyre profile will only alter the revs the engine is doing at a certain speed. It won't alter what the speedo is reading at all.
