Motorcycle help troubleshoot?

I have a 2009 Honda clone Tmec motorcycle that is supposedly 200cc 4 stroke air-cooled. I haven't had it for very long. The motorcycle is suppose to go 70-80 mph when I ride it the bike starts vibrating in the handles, seat, and foot pedals as if its over reving at the speed of 30 to 35mph? I also hear rattlings and clanking as if something a chain is not catching. This usually happens after I shift and accelerate or when I go over a pot hole it will rattle for 2-4 seconds then stop? I have cleaned out the carburetor and air filter I have changed the oil and replaced the spark plug. I think what may be causing the loss of power is maybe the clutch friction plates? Or maybe the transmission? Or maybe the drive chain and sprocket? When I first got the bike about a year ago the chain fell off when I was riding it at 30 to 35 mph. It locked up the back wheel and when we fixed it we just unclogged the chain and put it back on the wheel. Could this have been the cause of the vibrations and lack of power? I don't know much about motorcycles. How do you know when you need to replace the clutch, transmission, and chain/sprockets? What could be causing the lack of power and vibrations? Please list your experience with motorcycles in the source box.
