It could just be that the rubber shrunk, which can be remedied by dipping the gasket/o-ring in gas, which will cause it to swell. I've never heard of different valve covers for different capacity...

Regardless, you could get a different valve cover that is lower profile, something like this might work: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32672972781.html?

No worries, I understand. It just seemed like you were overly concerned about it, in a way that might keep you from riding the bike. It's something you could put on later if you just wanted to ride...

That really stinks. Just so you know, the bracket on the right side is for the accelerator pump. The choke is on the left side.

Unless you have/bought the split Honda accelerator cable (wouldn't...

Depending on speed and stuff, 25 km/l is reasonable to expect, sometimes more, also depending on how you ride it.
