Default how can i tell if my bike has been rejetted?

just like the title says, i bought my 03 400 ex 2 and a half years ago and it was already modded a bit, but im not sure if its been rejetted or not. im sure that with the slip on and the filter it should have burned somethign by now with the abuse i put it through. so is there any way of telling?

what will the new jets look like? will they have markings on them? i ask because ive never seen factory jets so i have no idea what theyd look like. also would i just be able to run the bike hard, shut it off and check the plug and see if its a little white or not?

when you rev it up, does it rev smooth all the way through the RPM band? If it breaks up a lot, then it could be lean...which would mean they probably didn't jet it. If it revs clean, then its probably jetted correctly. If it smokes and bogs a little in the high rpm's, it could be a little rich from too large of jets.
