Any here knows how the breather tube on the left side engine cover is fastened on a 2006 Gas Gas TXT Pro?

Any of my fellow members here knows how the breather tube that sit on the left side in front of the gear lever is fastened? 

It is missing on one of my bikes and the one i received today looks just like it supposed to be pushed in..

See the red arrow on the picure below for the breather tube i am talking about

It is a push/interference fit. They can become loose

If the hole is worn use glue, don't block the end or let excess glue into the case.

Yup. Simple friction fit. I use a nylon/rubber hammer to gently tap mine into place. I guess one could use some sort of adhesive (silicon perhaps) to glue it into place.

 Its just an interference fit & these have been known to pop out. A gentle tap usually suffices. I  fitted a longer tube & ran it up into the airbox. Works for me.

Thanks for all good advices. I thought i better ask instead of just trying to tap the breather tube into the engine cover

I used a little hammer and gently tapped the breather tube in place 

Here is a picture of the now, not anymore missing breather tube on the left side engine cover

sirdabalot. Whatkind of glue do you suggest? What about using car body glue used by car repair shops? Maybe thread locker even if there are no threads there
