That's strange it only slips in the higher gears usually it's the other way around. U didn't change the oil with automotive motor oil did u?

Have you checked the clutch cable to see if it is too tight at the lever? It is possible it is not fully engaged, so at lower revs it still grabs, but once you get to higher revs, it starts slipping a little due to the increased power.

If you rip on the throttle really fast and your rpms's go up but your bike doesnt go anywhere. Its your clutch. Doesnt matter what gear your in, it will do it in all gears.

Its worth a shot. If that's your issue, it does not cost you anything to fix and is a pretty quick fix.
