"Hissing" Noise in 5th gear... Snake nest?

So my Magician is nearing 1,000 miles. It has given me every issue imaginable, expect for the fact the engine seems pretty darn good (so far).

However, since day one I have had a very odd issue in 5th gear. When the bike gets hot 5th gear makes a hissing sound. In my head I imagine things expanding and rubbing in ways they shouldn't.

As soon as you drop to 4th it goes away, and occasionally it can be difficult to shift down, almost like the lever is not "catching". This can be annoying at a stop light but if I reach my hand down and jiggle the shift lever it almost always shifts down.

So do I have a lemon? A bike still being broken in? Is this sound common? Or do I have some really pissed off snakes stuck in my gearbox.
