VM26 too rich?

I can't tell for sure if the one I got is a genuine Mikuni, but I got a set of Amazon jets so who knows if their sizes are actually what they say. I understand this could make tuning a little more tedious.

Bike is a 2020 Hawk with the stonemen exhaust where I added the original exhausts db killer to the rear of the muffler. Odometer is at about 1600 miles (not stock gauge cluster) and I've adjusted and checked valves several times so far.

So far I adjusted the float height slightly so that the mould marks on the float are parallel with the bowl surface and I'm down to the #20 slow jet and a half turn out even though it'll idle faster with idle adjustment all the way in.

I figure now I'm on the rich side of pretty close and just wanted to collect more info before going further.
