Loosing power in mid-range only when gradually accelerating...

Don't know if you're counting top to bottom or bottom to top. Dropping the circlip will raise the needle allowing more fuel (richer).
If 3 was an improvement over 4, try the second spot.
I was just going to drink a beer to celebrate your victory but it appears I was premature. Guess I'll compromise with a box wine

happen when an engine is Lean... and also I have a K&N filter on it now with no outerwear since that’s what the person had on it and I’m still waiting for the foam filter to come in the mail that I bought since I hear bad things about the k&n. Should I wait to do anymore adjustments till I get the filter? Should be here around today or tomorrow I’m hoping.. thanks for your feed back!!

i believe around 2 3/4 or 3 turns out. Idles good when warmed up but I have to stay on the gas very slightly to keep it running to warm it up. But when it’s warmed up it seems like it’s running good. And yes I been letting the engine warm up around 5-10 min and also the bogging starts around 1/2 throttle to full throttle in every gear.

The K&N with no airbox restriction will make it run leaner. You might want to wait on the foam filter and not have to go through all this again.
If you get a chance to look at that link I sent you, it will explain what Lt. Granddad was getting at...in other words, different jets/settings affect different parts of the throttle.
Scroll down to the paragraph titled "Pilot System" and go from there.

If you saw my other posts I finally got the idle down, and jetting... or so I think! When I went for a test drive I gradually accelerated and I kept bogging out! In every gear.. but when I punched the gas it all the sudden pulled HARD. No power loss at all when hitting it wide open... what could I need to adjust on this, the valves? I’m new to 4strokes so I’m not too sure on what to do here...

okay so I took a good look at that link, now maybe I get the felling I’m moving a little too fast here... my #40 pilot jet SHOULD be ok right? When I start the bike I have to give it a little bit of throttle to get it to warm up for about a few mins, but after 2 or 3 minutes of me keeping it at a low rev, it will idle perfect on its own. I haven’t done a plug chop for the idling, so I’ll warm it up when I get home, take the plug out and put a new one in and see if it’s brown tan or white. Assuming I should take smaller steps and work a little slower then just throwing adjustments at it and wanting to ride it lol, but from the link I understand more now that everything is in sequence and work together from the pilot to the needle then to the main in terms of lower RPMS to higher RPMS. I would like to go do this today but I assume it’ll be smarter to wait for the foam filter when it hopefully gets here tomorrow
bit to get it warmed up? It’s around 30° here on Long Island New York if that makes a difference. But after it’s warmed up it’ll idle on its own power well

I don't think giving it a little help while it's cold is that unusual (done with discretion0. You never want to rev an engine too high while it's cold.
I may have misspoken when I made that remark earlier about wasting your time if you're going to a foam filter. For some reason I assumed you were going back to the original configuration (air box and all). If you're just replacing the K&N with another aftermarket foam sock, it probably won't make that much difference.
Something I should have asked earlier. When you say it bogs in the midrange, are you meaning that when you roll it on from low to wide open there's a hesitation? Some 4 stroke carbs have an accelerator pump that squirts a little gas into the intake to compensate for the hesitation that is evidently inherent to 4 strokes. It's nothing more than a small diaphragm that will sometimes get hard from age/old gas (similar to my veins) and quit pumping. Don't know if it applies to your Honda but I had that problem on a Suzuki once.
