SOURCE: how to remove the starter clutch on a 2003 yamaha
It is on the back side of the flywheel for the magneto/generator. You will need to remove the left engine side cover then pull the flywheel. It does take a special puller to get the fly wheel off. Once you get the flywheel off, there are 8 allen bolts that hold it to the back side of the flywheel.

These parts are fairly reliable. Rather than buying new, you should be able to pick one up from a motorcycle breaker who will post it to you. I would expect to pay about £60-£100 tops in the UK (Depending on mileage). ANy Yamaha dealer will be happy to order you one new, but they are a hell of a price!

Charge battery to full, start in neutral, still clicks? Bad ground, or bad connection. Jump starter solenoid with screwdriver,etc. if motor turns over the relay is bad. Chaz Moto DC
SOURCE: can you adjust clutch to stop sliping on 2000 v
Your clutch cable should have about 1/4 inch free play measred at the lever, check this by pulling the clutch lever slightly, look between the perch and lever, should have a small gap before it puts tension on the lever, if you adjust this and it still slips, it's problably shot, best bet is to ebay a good barnett clutch kit (under $200) and a cover gasket (prob 20 bucks or less), get a manual (30 or 40 bucks or 5 bucks for a pdf) and do-it-yourself, you will be way under dealer cost and have a better understanding for your machine, clutches come with instructions and repair manuals are priceless when you have a motorcycle !!!
best of luck and happy riding !!!
