Fresh oil, filter, and magnetic sump plug. Does it count?

Well, I asked my mechanic the same question. He said he only saw this kind of damage on bikes that were raced. Brutal gear changes with high load and high RPM are no bueno for any gearbox. It wouldn't be a problem for racing bike- they are inspected/rebuilt on regular basis, but I don't think that previous owner was that thorough:/@Gnasher, what would cause wear like this? lack of oil changes or is it just that Yamaha dont have the best gear box's...?
Neither, in my opinion. This looks like either wheelie/clutch less change damage and/or too many drag starts and missed gears, possibly due to a poorly set and or worn clutch, which has been corrected (the clutch) before moving the bike on. Now whether Rad has been doing the above or it was done by the previous owner, only he'll know. But it's perfectly possible to get this sort of issue only for it to sit there for couple thousands miles before it lets go.
At a guess, I would think it is the alternator dropping apart, a common and well known problem on this model. Easily checked, drain the engine oil and remove the alternator cover to confirm.Alternator has been replaced right after I bought the bike two years ago. I will check it anyway.
Did a quick search -I've seen a lot of those. The problem is, S and N seat models aren't the same, are they? There's a metric s**t ton of S seats, but nothing for nakeds.
