Because the engine will not produce a required torque in 5th gear, so power is transmitted from wheel to engine through clutch and gear box and finally it stops the engine.

Generally in 1st and 2nd gear bike gives huge torque and less speed.
But as we increase gears engine gives speed to maintain or increase speed which
already bike have and give less torque.
so, when speed decreases in 5th gear then engine would not be capable to give
that much torque and as a result bike get stopped.
