	Order an original replacement through the dealer (new foam too
if necessary). Seat covers on motorcycles aren't too hard to change.
Usually they're held on by some clips or sharp points that stick
through the material underneath the seat. Look at what's there and
see if it looks like something you can tackle.

	If you don't fix the tear, it'll get bigger and also the foam
will start to self-destruct from wear.
