sounds like bad gas or computer map setting loading fuel, bike carb or injected? quick fix try injection cleaner and better gas. Where do you get your gas, have ethanol added to there gas?

If I recall correctly, the VStar engage/disengage point cannot be adjusted in terms of where in the range of the lever it is, something is not disengaged correctly. This typically indicates that there is too much freeplay . Reduce the freeplay just a tad and see if it resolves the problem.
clutch cables stretch with use and the adjustment at the clutch lever must be made on occasion. If there is no more adjustment at the lever, then follow the cable down and see if another adjustment is available. If not, you'll need to remove the cover to the clutch basket and find the adjustment there.
Now, just another thought. Bikes that have correct freeplay, but want to clunk and creep, may have sticky clutch plates/tension springs. This can happen when the oil is old or the bike has been sitting for longer intervals (previous owner?), or simply stuff accumulated and stuck to the plates. Not the most likely thing with your mileage, but don't completely rule it out.

Did you happen to get resolution on this? My gas cap on my 04 1100 classic just fell apart this weekend. It looks like there might be some screws that rattled out and now I'm concerned that I have parts loose in the tank. I didn't spend the $$$ on a new cap yet as I was looking for options. Just doesn't seem right for a cap to just fall apart.

hotter plugs always work better but don't last as long, try advancing timing a hair.

Locate the battery. Disconnect the Negative battery first. Disconnect the Positive battery cable. Most batteries have some sort of hold down. Remove the hold down and take battery out. Replace with new battery. Put hold down on. Reconnect the Positive battery cable then the Negative battery cable and there you have it. Done.

Make sure the steering head bearing are tight enough (but not binding). Try 36 PSI in the front and rear tires.

Sounds like Wheel bearings, have you checked em?, Balance your tyres??
Have you considered it being the bike Vibrating, some things have an accoustic Tune point??

Unbolt the exhaust from the cylinder head to access the oil filter. For around $400 you can buy a kit that moves the filter to a better location. You may need to replace your exhaust gaskets if you experience popping in the exhaust after the filter change.

Well if overfilled, that does not make any sense, can you check the level? Once a seal starts to leak, it will continue, so investigate the leak and fix it. It will only get worse.
