^^^^ Thanks. I've meant to get JIS screwdrivers for a while. Just ordered a set.

Although not the highest quality, I've found the screwdriver in the tool set that came with my bike works well for the screws on my bike. I also suspect it won't be too many more riding seasons until I misplace the tool set, and will have to locate a new JIS screwdriver.

I got these a few years ago.

But again, I take pleasure each correction, suggestions on my writing. And I thank those who have already taken the time to do it.

Bigjohnsd, sorry for the off topic

Some Phillips screws are actually "Pozidrive". Something else to google in your spare time.

May be it's just me, I don't like Phillips/slot head screws so I replaced all of them with the same size metric allen head screws as I already have a set of SnapOn metric allen wrenches (and that was on all the bikes/cars I own ). There are not that many Phillips/slot screws on bikes so I never bothered to get a JIS screwdriver.

 

[gapiob]

In my fjr, I do the same, or torks screw. But on bike of friends I use Jis screwdriver

I bought these a couple of years ago from Amazon...not too expensive.
