How blown is your crankshaft? Conrod, bigend and bearings can all be replaced.
Bearings are standard so dont need to come from Yamaha, as I recall from my last revision the conrod with bigend and bigend bearing together cost abt 200 Euros, the main bearings about 20 Euros each.
Throw in some cash for fitting the items and balancing and there you are.
