I'd leave it alone and ride it some more. You're a relative novice, the likelyhood is that the bike will be fine when you're more relaxed with it and confident in your riding. And simply when more used to it it will feel different.

All the above suggestions are on possibly the most subjective aspect of any given motorcycle; comfort - it simply cannot possibly be judged whether a bike that's comfortable for anyone else will suit you, spending good money on it to find out it makes little or no difference will be most disappointing.
