You should see the hot rods bearing out of my DRZ, it only had 34 hours on it. I avoid them now at all costs.

I would be guessing 99% of all mx rebuilt motors are now running NON OEM crank bearings SKF  NSK, FAG, All Ball KITS  etc,
Will u have issues?
OEM 6306 can last over 60000 +miles [about 2000hrs}on big singles
IF your bearing shop 6306 last 8000miles 300hrs would u call that a issue? 
other issues using non oem bearing is they run hotter , more likely to spin wear on crank {worn crank journals are a common problem on the kx
Oem crank bearings are 4 times the price for a reason [it not for the kawasaki sticker :-)
