Please check your oil level.

I am wondering , if it would be the magneto voltage distribution ? sounds like it is under charging , and getting weak as you ride ... like a cars alternator

Need more to go on....

Hard shifting could be the oil level as mentioned above. There is a rev limiter in reverse as well as when in limp mode. Do not know what year and model we are talking about. Could be fuel or electrical..:dontknow:
