Personally, if I'd gone that deep into an engine I'd replace them all.

Having pulled it all to bits it would seem obvious to replace all wear items.
What condition was the engine in before you pulled it down? How many km's on the bike?
If it's low km's then bearings and such are probably all in good condition and my not need replacing.
Really up to you.

Yamaha is the only known supplier, as each set it matched to the engine.
