A SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers ) did a study and found out that if your engine runs 1000 rpm's
higher at cruising speed, that the increased wear would be negligible.

The noise of the 5,000 rpms would vibrate the bike and you, so I would start by changing the front sprocket to a 17 tooth or increase the rear sprocket at least 5 teeth.
