Not while it's running. Certainly best if it points down.

I Wouldn't be worried about your exhaust, that is minor compared to the ruckus guys with their almost vertical exhausts. If you are worried cut a bottle and stick it over the end when parked.

Yes indeed plug it or cap it if left out in the rain. I do that with my Aprilia and carry a silicone wash plug with me in a zip lock bag just for that purpose. You really do not want to deal with a rusted exhaust valve. If the engine stops on the exhaust stroke you can also end up with water in the piston which can become a catastrophic event if the engine fires and even a bit of water expands to over boost compression.

My intake is custom & sticks out the rear side about 2in or so. Nothin like tryin to start a bike with water filled intake. Lesson learned, so now I've got this "rain coat" for my filter.
