if it is kicking out of gear there is a posibility that you have a bent shift fork. or it could be as simple as your shift linkage is not adjusted properly. if the bike gets to 5k rpm and it revs out but the bike doesn't go any faster, but when you let off the gas and ease back into it and it pulls with no clunking noise then it is your clutch slipping. But if there is a clunking noise then most likely it is an internal problem (bent shift fork). good luck and I hope this helps you out.
