Clutch
you need a micrometere or vernier caliper to measure how thick they are that how you tell how worn the clutch is. the manual will list the specificational limit (how thin you should allow them to get and how do the basket and innser hub looks like). if they have small teeth on them they are worn.,
Battery
You really don't have to worry about having too big of battery. As long as the voltage is correct the size of the battery makes little difference as long as it is big enough. The electrical parts will only draw the power they need. The battery will not force too much power on to things just because it is big. The big thing to remember is to take the old dead, battery totally out of the system. If you keep the old battery in the bike it will try to suck up the power from the fully charged battery. This can cause the old battery to explode.,,,

BIKE WILL NOT START
Remove plug cap from spark plug and unscrew from HT lead. Clean it and put it to one side. Use a set of wire cutters to remove about 1/2 an inch of the HT lead and refit cap. This SHOULD sort it out.
If it was more serious, like the CDI for instance, then it wouldn't spark at all, so thankfully it isn't serious. Hope this helps.
