5th gear Problems

If you're having problems hitting 100 mph in 4th I doubt its your clutch. I think the gears are skewing your perception here. Sounds like you have a flatspot. Basically when you hit a certain RPM range, speed or throttle point your bike loses power. It's because it's lacking something at that point, usually either air or fuel.
If you know any long open stretches of straight road with very little traffic, you can try testing it. Try hitting 7k rpm in each gear (except 1st gear), rolling on smoothly. I don't recommend experimenting in 1st gear because 1st tends to be very twitchy. A sudden power loss followed by a surge can end up dumping you off the back end.
Then tell us what you find

Been there. Twelve oclocked it doing this on a ****ing moped of all things!
Your wording is where a lot of the issues here are coming from. You're not giving us much info, and repeating the same things over and over again as if we don't understand you. We understand what you wrote, it just wasn't enough to get your point accross properly bud.
Say you're in 4th gear, at 8000 rpm, and THEN go into 5th, is THAT when you have absolutely no power?

You mean it pulls hard like this one does at 0:52, but just not in 4th and 5th?

It could be that it's actually being slow in the other gears, it's just not as noticeable because the engine needs to work less to make you accelerate at lower road speeds.
