You raise a valid concern about the o-rings. One that I considered before I went ahead with the generic o-rings from "The Despot". In my line of work we do use a lot of Teflon and Viton o-rings, both in high vacuum areas and also in junctions subject to extreme <i>cold </i>temperatures. But we really never have any applications where the <i>maximum </i>temperature is the issue, like on the head of our engines. So, naturally, I Googled up a <a href="

I'm betting that if one was able to find the source of Yamaha's p/n 93210-18417-00 o-rings, you'd find that they are Buna-N. At least the ones I took out sure looked like it to me.
And, hey, Mom... all the other kids are doing it! Lots of other folks have used the generics with nary a problem.
