Well this is for the US models (non injected):

Jetting: 38/158 , R1367H needle 3rd clip from top, #6 slide

The jetting is way off to say the least on a stock bike, You need new jets, needle and slide.

Sounds lean on the pilot. Try turning the air screw in 1/2 a turn or so and see if that helps.

BTW a cold engine will be lean until it warms up. That's why it has a choke to temporarily richen things up until it warms up and starts to operate more efficiently. A high idle (after a minute or so of running) would tend to indicate a little too lean on the pilot circuit.

Please combine your posts ... you have two in here about rings, you only need one to cover it.

You also have 2 posts about the carb, you only need one.

the first thing you need to do is get a repair manual asap it will have almost all of the setting up info that you need and it will also have maitnience info. And if you do a search you will find that alot of your questions are already answered. Hope that helps a little, have fun with the bike.
