Default bike has few problems, shed light

Biggest problem solved, it runs! And doesn't die on me....

NOW for what appears to be the smaller issues...
1. It vibrates the whole time but not like a bad bearing vibrate, like a bad rim type vibration....any ideas. Bike was previously dropped so thinking bad rim

2. Front brake lever...lemme try and explain...for first half it just comes in, 2nd half it resists a little and kinda just GRABS.

3. Lights for gauges--rpm light works, temp and speedo lights don't. I would guess fuse but rpm light works...any ideas?

That's about it as far as I can think of, so any ideas?

maybe a bulb in the gauges. i know each little indicator has its own bulb on my bike.

now im not positive on this but that vibrating might be caused from a bent fork...so you might want to get that checked out

Forks are expensive so maybe I don't wanna get it checked out

Also, I learned today it vibrates if you're sitting still and rev the engine @ anything above 2000 rpms...so its not the rim as I first thought

id it more of a vibrating, or a knocking. i know the cam chain tensioner is pretty common and causes knocking.

Nah it's a vibration...someone even suggested the motor mounts but i have no idea where those are on the bike let alone what they look like on a bike
