Does it unscrew? How can I replace the tube?Comment

It's just a press fit into the secondary gear cavity. I've replaced them a couple of times during engine rebuilds by knocking them out from the other side with a punch while the cases are disassembled.
To avoid disassembly, you'd want to find a way to pull it out very straight or the stem will break off. If the stem breaks, you might be able to pull it out by screwing in a wood screw or something similar and using that to pull. Heat might help, too.
It might be simpler to find a way to attach a new hose to the broken bit. it doesn't have to move a lot of air, but it is pretty important so it doesn't push gear oil past the seals when the bike warms up.
Personally, I'd leave it alone for a while and see if any oily greasy mung builds up.1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.
