OEM or third party bearings?

[yukon yamaha]

Bearings and oil are two places I will never ever cut $$$ they are the two things that are essential to our machines making it through a season and can cause every expensive repair bills. For the most part I am very loyal to the Yamaha brand, however I have used a lot of third party bearings from a local shop. None have failed or have any signs of wearing. I have to agree with you guys above, look up the brand dig around and find the one with the best reviews. If it ends up being a little cheaper BONUS

Can somebody find and list the NTN or whatever part #'s for these bearings. Yamaha #'s are hard to cross reference.
