I'm also assuming that the exhaust will lean it out a lot as every bike or car that I've opened the exhaust on has went lean. You can also learn from the sound and how it behaves if it's very lean or rich.

Excellent answer; such comments help fellow forum members. Since you've dropped the clip to the bottom position, it's likely time to place it back in the middle position and get a fatter jet like you said. I'd take the jet into the local Honda shop and buy a few that are larger. My local dealer keeps them in a compartmentalized plastic box.
