Would the deformation in the carb boot be easily seen without taking anything on the bike apart? Or would I need to take the carb off to fully inspect it. Also, the spark plug I change is something that I will be doing in the next tank of gas.

I understand that and thank you for the reply. But if I richen the mixture up and only run it an hour a day will it cause damage to the motor. If I'm going to tip it back more learning rear brake control I don't want to replace it yet if I don't have to.

I've just recently obtained a 2013 sher Co 2.9. The bike had wear and tear on it but since I've gotten it I've done a few wheelies that ended up with the rear end of the bike (exhaust and gas tank) being smashed into the ground. With that being said the exhaust pipe, where it connects to the frame, is now separating at the weld. The separation is about 2 inches long and isn't quite large enough to stick my little finger in, but it's close. The bike ran fine, not much sputtering and popping, but now it is and no matter what I do to the carb the sputtering and popping is still there. My question is should I replace the exhaust or would it be fine to keep running it with a hole in the exhaust? The rear plastic fender won't even bolt up because of how bent the exhaust and tank are. I'm just learning and am going to break things I know. I just need to know if I could cause damage to the motor running it like this. Thanks in advance.
