Default 01 v star 650 noise in 5th gear

Finally got the transmission problem fixed. Now I have developed a "grinding" type noise when in 5th gear. Absolutely normal in 1st-4th gears. As soon as shifted into 5th, the grinding noise starts. Let in the clutch, noise disappears, clutch out, noise is back.

Any ideas?

thanks,
Lee
