Good info. Too bad they are nearly impossible to find stocked anywhere. I used a Phillips that I dressed with a file. Worked well on seven of eight screws...

They are stocked almost everywhere but they are not tagged with the title 'JIS'. They are sold as a generic "2" so you have to look down at the cross- section of the driver or bit to see if there is a significant radius there. If there is a radius, it is a Philips bit; no radius or a very small radius means it functions as a JIS bit even though it may not be labeled that way. JIS bits work well in Philips screw heads and so are sold commonly.
Go someplace that sells 1/4" hex drive bits, such as Home Depot, Lowes, Sears, etc. and usually in a package of several bits, and look at the bits carefully. As I mentioned in the first post, you can also take one screw out of the clutch reservoir and test the bit in that screw head to see if it fits properly and all the way to the bottom without rocking. Both screws ('flies screws and reservoir screws) are JIS #2 heads.

I got 6 of them out with a #2 Phillips. Got 2 of them out using a combination of a dremel tool, #1 phillips, square drive bits, vice grips, half a dozen flat screwdrivers, and a magnet to collect all the screw dust. Don't need no special screwdriver.Haha, 5 of 8 for me with this method.
I don't understand how this can be called a variable length intake manifold when they have stacked two sets of butterflys in one tube. The second set, the one we remove, seems to choke a non variable length of tube at a different location at a different time than the main set. The intake tube length does not change only the amount and timing of airflow. This may be an over simplistic view but I'm a simple man not an engineer.
i was real lucky. I ordered the JIS screwdriver and went at it this weekend. After I got the tank off took me about 5 mins to remove the screws. I was blown away at how easy it was. I didnt use any heat. It was a lot harder on my FZ1. Then I rode it and was completely blown away. I was shocked at how much more bottom end it had. Finally felt like a 1400cc bike. I was dissapointed when I got this bike compared to my FZ1 then I did this and feel completely in love with this bike.
