              Upto 20-25w battery is fine.
              What is LED wattage of stock lamp?

                I am not able to self start my bike by engaging clutch while it is in gear. I have to shift to neutral to self start it. What possibly it could be due to ?

                  Something called clutch switch.

                    Get the clutch switch checked. It tends to get worn after 20-25K KMS of running. You can just replace it with a new one. It's really cheap and can be purchased the Honda ASC.

                        I think you need to open the clutch level. It's placed on the hole beside the clutch cable. It has a cable as well. I would suggest getting a mechanic to change it. You don't want to mess it up by doing it at home. My clutch switch was loose for days before it fully stopped working. You might want to check for any loose contact. I have circled the part where the clutch switch gear is connected in the below image. It's inbetween the handlebar and clutch cable.

                            3rd servicing done @ 4984 kilometers.

                            This time used Honda mineral oil and surprisingly engine revs more freely than honda throttle synthetic oil.

                            Servicing cost 324 rupees [emoji4]Click image for larger version

                              Recently, engine rpm is behaving weirdly enough. It starts at 1k but as I drive it shoots up to 2.5k in ideal. Then slowly comes to 2k. What could be wrong?
