I think that you are shifting too soon and not too late, but there might be some gearbox damage from the previous owner. How does this happen exactly, do the revs go up ?
I had the exact same symptoms on an old Yamaha i used to own ( not my current ) and the reason was that because of heavy use the gear was missing teeth. Strangely enough the gearbox did not make any noise and after I pulled it apart I found pieces of shredded metal down in the gearbox
