I could and save money in the process.  The wisdom over the years is that a smaller countershaft sprocket will hasten the wear the chain due to the smaller radius or something like that.  Maybe it's not a big deal.  Anyway I have the 48 sitting on the shelf because the chain needs to be longer.  I should have explored this beforehand.  The chain is now got 6500 miles on it.  Probably at half life.  I just might bold in a smaller one as you say.
