SOURCE: Vibration

I'd start by having the new parts checked. Make sure your in balance, and have good tires. Then i'd check your bushings, especially in your trailing arm.

SOURCE: high frequency vibration coming from the right front end at 65-70mph?

Check Four Things:

  1. Tires, Balance, and Alignment ($100)
  2. Tie Rods, Stabilizers, and Struts (known to be bad)(do the work your self) ($1,200)
  3. Rack and Pinion (know to be bad) ($1,500)
  4. Axle / CV Joints (High mileage 100,000+) ($900)
Good Luck I have done all three according to the dealerships suggestion, It solved some of it. Do it yourself buy harbor freight tools, rent some from Advanced Auto. Then buy your parts from NAPA which are better than originals it will save you $500-1,000. Or just Sell it to a scrape yard.

Sounds like you might have some trash in the fuel system that worked its way into the carburetors. I would suggest having the fuel system serviced.

My 2012 kawasaki vulcan shakes very bad at 45mph and I dont know if it the front end or back wheel thats doing it my bike is a 2012 kawasaki vulcan 900 classic

Find safe area w/o traffic. Reach 50 mph, then gently apply rear (only) brake and feel if shaking reduced through 45mph. Then it's rear wheel. Don't recommend trying this with front brake.

I WOULD USE AMSOIL,OR RED LINE SYNTHETIC OIL ( WILL MAKE TOP END LAST ALOT LONGER).. AND THE MIX IS 32:1..... AND FOR ENGINE/TRANY OIL YOU CAN USE BEL-RAY ( BEST IN MY OPINION)

Bought a 2002 Rm125 about 2 months ago, with a fresh top end....First ride was great with impressive power throughout. About two weeks later I noticed that it was missing some about half throttle , and...

My first thought is low compression... which leads to a few questions...
What fuel to oil ratio have you used?
What do you mean by 'fresh top end'? To me a fresh top end includes piston and rings and cylinder bore, gaskets and crank seals. Anything less on a 2-stroke is an incomplete job and usually leads to premature failure.
Have you followed break-in procedure on your fresh top end? Double check the head bolt torque.

Do a compression check first then go from there.

Top speed

no you **** going bigger in the back is more accel, smaller is more top end. a 48-46 would put you somewhere between 80-100 mph depending on the engine but result is **** low end. If your kx is 6 spd you would benefit from going up a tooth or 2 for lowend because it has topend already.
