Just curious. What activates the sixth gear light? Is it a switch on the shift drum like the neutral light?
With the 5 speeds a primary gear change doesn't affect the speedometer calibration. Engine rpm and the counting of the fourth gear teeth determine speedometer reading.
Did some research and it seems that rpm and speed information to the ECM turns on the sixth gear light. Now I see what your concern is.
It seems that 6th gear MIN TPS is the setting that you would change. I would think that the higher rpm would require a higher MIN TPS setting.
