    Does that mean that shifting to 5th seems to go into neutral? Can't lift the lever after shifting into 4?

    Or, does shifting into 5 not lower the RPM much from 4 (normal)?

    jumping to conclusions here, but i'd venture bent/overly-worn shifter fork or piece of the primary chain guide wedged in there?
