Shifts normally into 1st 2nd, then trouble into 3rd but 4TH ad 5TH okay. Bike has 120,000 miles on it.
SOURCE: no 5th gear
You managed to bend a shift fork. The fork can not slide the slider gear all the way into 5th gear.
This repair is not for the amature. Sorry to have to send you the bad news. Time for a visit to the dealers service department.
Please rate this answer. Thanks!

Sounds like a slightly bent shift fork. The slider gear isn't quite engaging into 2nd. If the bend gets worse then you won't get into first and the pedal will get real stiff in those gears. The repair is best done in the shop.
Please rate this solution. Thanks!

Howdy: The 3rd and 4th gears are used the most, after awhile the dog and shifting forks get worn more. Try changing to Yamaha Lube simi-syn oil 10/40. Drain oil after warm up (get trans oil warm). The oil is in a silver 4gal containe at the Yamaha dealer. This oil has helped me.
Good luck - Doug

The problem is a bent shift fork. The repair is major surgery on the transmission. The entire engine comes apart just to get to the forks. Some special tools are required. The generic diagram below shows how the shift forks work.
