Maybe there is a thread on this issue but could not find it. Recently, my Vmax has been dieing when I come to a complete stop(idle) and it seems like my clutch is not gearing down? Almost sounds like it's flooded. Sometimes it will idle but after I here a 'click' around the clutch area. Any ideas what it could be? Looks like I have 5 months to fix it as Minnesota (metro) starts to thaw out now.

Thanks!
 

Primary needs new bushings and rollers, rebuild the whole thing.
 
All depends on how well its ben taken care of. I bought a 95 vmax 600 that was doing the exact same thing. Previous owner had enrolled it in the gas/oil as needed service plan with a clause for checking the belt only when it breaks. Popped the clutch off and cleaned,cleaned and cleaned some more. Once it was clean I lubed everything up and it worked like a charm for 2 more years that I know of.......New owner could still be riding it as I left it.
