Hi,

system[a_?NumericQ] := {y1'[x] == y2[x], y2'[x] == -Sin[y2[x]] +
Cos[5x],
y1[-1] == 0,
      y2[-1] == a};
myODEsoln[a_?NumericQ] := NDSolve[system[a], {y1[x], y2[x]}, {x, -1, 1}]
yend[a_?NumericQ] := (y1[x] /. myODEsoln[a]) /. x -> 1
bc = FindRoot[First[yend[a]] == 0, {a, -2, 2}];
Plot[Evaluate[y1[x] /. myODEsoln[a /. bc]], {x, -1, 1},
    AxesLabel -> {"x", "y1(x)"}];

Regards
  Jens
