I Accidentally broke the cover, my question is, should I just apply plastic welder? or should I replace the whole thing? as my understanding there must be a lot of pressure in there... Tnanks guys.

Picture?
Dry fit the parts and keep pressed together, then dribble some superglue into the "gap". (using a toothpick works) The dry fit will keep the parts lined up/orientated/indexed and the superglue will get "sucked" into any gap by capillarity action. Do not apply the superglue/any glue) first as this makes the join "slippery" and the glue will set before you get a chance to line everything up properly. Once glued spread some epoxy over the join on the inside. Then buy a new one! If you buy a new one the old glued one will last forever. If you do not the old one will break again

That part is held into the CVT cover by a couple of screws that you get to from inside the cover. On my 150 you have to take off the air box and about 10 screws holding on the CVT cover to get to them, but it's pretty easy to do that. Might as well check your belt and variator while you're there.
Mine was somewhat discolored and brittle, so I just replaced it. SIP-scooter shop.com calls it a "vario cover," part number PI876166, and for $12 I put it in with some other stuff that I couldn't find elsewhere and made an order out of it.

If you do not the old one will break again But it does depend on the nature of the break. If it is a clean snap then superglue, if it is a rough tear and the parts will never line up properly then...whatever ones favourite. |

Just leave it off and get rid of the rubber gaitor at the same time. There is no filter in there, it is just air cooling. Maybe if you have a passenger with really baggy silk trouser legs.....

Gorilla glue is super glue surely, just a well advertised brand name.
I've got bottles of each, they do exactly the same thing. |
