    Your running way too lean. Go a few jet sizes up and adjust the air/fuel mixture.

    Opening up the intake with the Uni filter is going to make a change, and you need to add more fuel.

    Yes, water will boil straight off the exhaust, the gasses going through there are super hot. Its burning fuel, its gonna get hot.

    The water steaming off within 20 seconds? Yup thats ok to me. I know my buds klt its less then 20 secs, the Z its pretty quick too. As you said the plug is fine, so dont worry. Things will get hot.
