    It it known for any of the piaggio 125/180 cases to break at some time, leaping over speed hump's won't help matters but you'd be very unlucky to have an engine break. Just fitting a 172 kit won't make it break, if in dought just polish out the casting seem that runs top to bottom of the main case.

    If the engine/ suspension joint is fitted properly then they don't vibrate! What have you done to it to make it vibrate?

    All engines move a tad, but in what direction? If it's only a tad then no problem.
