likely the yam is 6 bolts lol (murphy)
unfortunately the off roaders generally have thinner disks.

Kinky is using a feather. Perverted is using the whole chicken
ordered some OEM ones for an old Yamaha not that long ago on they arrived no issue. can't remember what I paid but try places like www.boats.net
Edit: $1.38 each US, plus postage.
Need to remember that the brake force is NOT being carried on the "shear" strength of the bolt (ie chopping through the section). Rather, it is the clamped interface of the two faces forced together by the torque setting of the bolt. The bolt strength (and what it is screwed into) will dictate that torque. R1's for example (and other Yamaha's I quickly looked at ) are only about 13ft/lb.
Yeah, oddly enough,
I had the same task to do recently, & the Yamaha discs are fastened by those fancy allen-head mushroom types with blue thread compound.
Inevitably a couple of 'em were a bit chewed & wanted replacement.. but I had serviceable spares from previous doings - which did the job.
But, as noted, they are a basic ISO metric thread size, so any equivalent bolt shop replacement will likely do, unless originality is an issue..
Can buy the the OEM ones from partzilla.com for the price quoted above of $1.38US each, or give a Yamaha dealer a call and check the price for p/n 90109-08718-00, I've found for most of the yammy parts I've bought the price has been pretty similar when they're available ex Australia.
It's probably nice if the brake rotor bolts are the right thing, in the interests of stopping when you want to and all.......

I just bought 12 for the R1 from Partzilla in the US. Less than NZ $50 including freight.
It might depend on the method used to centre the rotor on the wheel hub.
Some are centred by the raised spigot on the hub that corresponds to the ID of the carrier centre.
Some use a shouldered fastener that often has a M8 thread combined with a 10mm OD shoulder, that shoulder can in some cases fit into a 10 mm counter bore in the wheel hub.
If the Yamaha 'bolt has a shoulder than only engages the carrier there is the possibility that using a non shouldered fastener of say 8 mm would leave a 2mm clearance in the carrier holes (If there was a hole in the rotor to suit that OEM shoulder)
If that was the case the fastener could end up off centre (radially) to the holes and mark the new carrier if a standard industrial cap screw was used, it might even have slightly less clamping force due to reduced surface area (carrier to fastener area under the head)
Less clamping force could then reduce the clamping friction of the carrier to the wheel hub flange.
Or not but just saying.,.
