It's a tricky one to comment too much on, and I will never comment, or allow comment on anything other than standard setup for reasons I've gone over a number of times. It's something you really need to make your own informed decision on, or entrust to a 2-stroke specialist if you're uncomfortable with fiddling. However, in my personal opinion, there's a large [safe] margin for error in the standard setup to cover a wide range of [Japanese domestic] fuels and operating conditions.

Manufacturer's standard settings are always going to be rich. That means for a 2-stroke the standard oil pump is going to over-oil to some degree, and the jetting/needle is going to be rich... it would be financial suicide to release a 2-stroke with edgy/lean settings.

It's common for the filter to be quite wet and oily, as there's always a lot of "stand off" from the carbs. It's also common to see a little oily residue in around the reeds, but there shouldn't really be much more than just a misting.

Sorry to be so vague, but make of that what you will. Remember though, any deviation from the OEM settings is on your own head!
