I have a 96 with 5 gears and I notice that shifting from 4th to 5th is like to click, what gives with 2 clicks? It's annoying, is it by design? Does that happen to anyone else?

Does the shifter go up or does it stop? IOW, is the shifter travel normal?
The shifter stops when trying to shift up from 4th gear. I have counted my gears while travelling and while stopped and rolling back and forth and only getting 4 gears. Going to try to examine the transmission to see if it was replaced.

High revs at 55mph is 4th gear, I'm new too and can tell you that. You NEED your 5th gear on the highway.
Try shifting through all the gears while you're not sitting on the bike, and count them.

Drop into 1st, then 4 lifts on the shifter
I think hes sayin after he lifts 3 times the shifter wont lift again,, IF I recall correctly, that shifter is Supposed to Lift just like thers another gear up there, even after its in 5th.. Seems I remember shifting into 6th a few times,, always disappointing,, never got it to click into that gear..
Is the shifter supposed to Lift the same even after its in high gear?

No! Seems you would know that if you're constantly going for 6th.

Being a used bike, is there a chance, or is it even possible, that someone maybe changed out the tranny in there for an older one with only 4 gears??
