Not sure about the kill switch but that is a problem. Go through your harnesses and make sure they're all seated okay and no pins are bent or broken. Does the manual have a wiring diagram?
You can solve the clutch start problem quite easily and save yourself some worry in the future. On the base of the clutch lever assembly you'll notice two wires (usually with flat L-shaped terminals) connecting into a switch built into the back of the lever base. Wire those two together and you'll be able to start the bike regardless of clutch lever position.
While you're at it, take a quick look at the side-stand hinge for any strange wiring. Some bikes only allow you to start when the stand is up.
