Definitely not a Yamaha part. Made in Taiwan huh? How do they look? That second number seems to reference SPI.

It`s an aftermarket company that makes some parts, most notably, pistons. Sorta like Kimpex.

I put about 1000 km the Yamaha BJ`s and I already have some slop. They should be protected from the elements by having rubber boots of some kind, which would also allow better lubrication.

I have to replace my lower balljoints this summer as well and will be trying these. I don't think they can be any worse than yamaha's. I also have to replace uppers and spindle bushings, and tie rod ends. . Oh well guess its better than replacing crank bearings and $200 belts.
I hope these work better than yamaha's because there is only 2000km on the lowers.

Must be something you did because I got the email notification of your post and got it all:
And your dancing banana don't dance no more
Last year I bought OEM ball joints for my '07 Phazer, they were $70 a piece @ dealer.
All the stuff I checked online was basically priced more and the same $$ anywhere....
My dealer cuts me a 15% break, generally stocks items + no waiting on a measly part that gets shipped at the most expensive rate & could go in a 'lil packing envelope instead of a box 3x the parts size.
Keeping it local I save a couple bucks and we both stay happy.
