I've read in this forum and others, that full throttle shifts that aren't done right can result in a bent transmission fork. Sounds like when you're trying to shift out of 5th, nothing happens? Can't feel anything moving inside? If so, then yeah, you may be looking at pulling the engine and disassembling it to look at the trans.
I have not worked on the SOHC bikes, so I readily defer to those who have more intimate knowledge. Wait a little bit and see what some bigger brains suggest.
Good luck, and keep us informed. We'll help if we can.
