On your speedometer there are Roman numerals (little tick marks) on the outer edge that show where the upshift should occur at full throttle. IIRC, there should be a "I" for the upshift from first to second, a "II" for second to third, etc. When your engine is producing full power and the transmission is shifting correctly, you should hit all these marks at about 5000 rpm before the upshift occurs. If you're not getting to 5000 rpm, bowden cable adjustment may help. The cable should be just slack at accelerator idle, and then you can tighten or loosen a bit from there to get the shifting point behavior to your liking.
