Just been doing some reading up on this issue and also removing the clutch actuator mechanism from the case, it seems so many have had issues rounding off the small cross point screws, along with a lot of others on the Fazers.
I have only just heard of JIS screws and drivers, apparently the JIS driver and screws have a sharper point and a slightly different profile to the British Phillips driver and screws, that is the reason so many round off as the Phillips driver does not reach down to the bottom of the screws profile.
You learn something new every day, just ordered myself a set of JIS drivers, expensive for a set of three driver but but emotionally cheap compared to when one of the foccing heads round off. :'(
I am guessing that the screw driver that is supplied in the Yamaha tool kit is a JIS one, so, I will fit a metal handle to that one and use it as a pound through driver and give screw a good clout with a hammer before trying to undo the in future, maybe put twisting pressure on the home made driver and clout it.
