I just received a comfort seat today and fitted it, no wonder some are experiencing wear where the seat contacts the side of the bike at the front, the seat is tighter where it snuggled up to the tank and a slightly different profile, I will keep an eye on it I think. Maybe some that don't have the issue their seats are maybe more like the standard seat profile! I might bring it to the attention of the shop I bought it from to see what the recommended! Interesting to hear who else has a set with same or different front profiles to see if there is a common occurrence here or not,....

Mine is the exact same.
I have emailed Yamaha UK and contacted the supplying dealer with pictures.

I'm on my third comfort seat wore through on the corners after less than 100 miles. Yamaha warranty replacements. The third one my dealer and myself agreed to modify the new seat before fitting by having the front of the seat cover lifted and the sharp corners rounded off then restapled. So far it's looking good after a few 100 miles. Not good as it's not a cheap item, but the comfort is worth it. I think if I was going to change it again it would be for a third party seat with the gel inserts. Maybe someone like CM Seats. Bladerunner style.

Result.
Just had an call from the Supplying dealer.
They have to send Yamaha UK the invoice for the original comfort seat, then Yamaha will send them a replacement which they will forward on to me.
Just got to send my current seat back to the dealer.
Happy with that.

Nice One, be interesting to see how the new one fits around the tank, mine has a bigger gap than the standard seat, good to know Yamaha are doing something with it

This is how my comfort seat fitted. It didn't line up at the front at all.

Yup, pretty much the same as mine, the standard seat shows they can make a good fitting seat, just not the £246 quid alternate one!
