Just for clarification, the JIS screws are not stubborn Phillips screws. Matter of fact, they are very easy to remove with a JIS screwdriver. If you research how a JIS screw is designed versus a Phillips screwdriver, it's kind of like trying to remove a one-way screw with a regular flathead screwdriver. The flathead screwdriver just walks right out without gripping the screw! The JIS screwdrivers I use haven't damaged any of the screws on my bike. There are only 2 screws with any visible damage (had to use a Phillips bit in the MOS, as mentioned above) to get them out of the carbs, in order to remove the needles. They are still very usable.
