I just purchased a 2007 rebel 250, and i cant seem to get into fith gear. the fastest i have gone is 45mph. am i missing something. the bike was sitting for approximately 8 months in a garage. any suggestions for me? thanks.

Yeah, i'm counting correctly. It almost feels like there isnt a fifth gear. The gear shifter will move slightly up but then just not move any higher or lock into a gear. is speed an issue at all? I suppose it feels as though if you were already in first gear, and accidently made the motions to down shift, a little give but no results.

Thanks For the advice everyone. I'll look into it.
