After replacing my clutch and primary tensioner, When I'm in 5th I can still click up like there is another gear. I thought read something like this recently on here, but after looking couldn't find it. Could I have accidentally dislodged something that is now floating around in my primary or trans? Haven't noticed anything weird about it except that.

Ah, that makes sense. I'd been riding my dads suzuki while my x1 was down and just must not have noticed it before.

The XB family has the 'update' with no play down in 1st, or up in 5th...but the tubers let you guess : )

I frequently am looking for another gear as I crank it up getting on the highway. I guess it's the bike's way of telling you that you need the Baker 6 speed

My S1W acts that way. My S2, with the different rear pulley / taller gearing...not so much. Feels like my Uly, rev-wise. But, the S1W's no fun on the slab anyway...lol
