Someone here had a similar problem and it was the rocker cover banjo leaking. But seeing you have the new style cover with no banjo fittings ? Why not remove the cover , clean the surfaces apply some good sealant to both sides of the gasket and try again ? Or maybe try your hand at making a new one ? Ollie should be able to get you a gasket in a week or two from Germany correct ?
Cheers Tony, that gives me a plan B & C
.Dull day today and, after a short ride, leak worsening so, stuff the dealer and TVS/Norton, both failed with regard to backup and lastly......stuff any hope of guarantee. Tank off, easy peasy, rocker cover off, not so easy but all done. Turned out the gasket had split, popped out as soon as I loosened the screws. Some suprises both nice and interesting......battery Yuasa, Japan, wiring harness and therefore probably relays, made in India, casting and mating surface finishing looks class though. Now to get some gasket paper and rekindle an old skill?Cheers Tony, that gives me a plan B & C
Gasket making is part of Norton heritage

Trowels? Trowels! We used to dream of trowels...
Try telling that to the youth of today.....
No problem... they’ll just use the trowel app...
STAG, Messy but effective!
Have been known to make a gasket from a cereal box, needs must!
Me too. But it meant going without supper !
That green gasket just looks the biz, think I cut mine a bit over but it goes well with my Steel Green colour scheme.Definitely possible to make your own.

it cuts pretty well though...I tried a knife, but a plain pair of scissors I found best, plus some hole punches and job done. Mind you, not sure it doesn’t leak yet!
How thick is the paper ?(I
