Cycleops Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Can anyone tell me what sizes of JIS are commonly used on Japanese motorbikes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Davey Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Most likely No.2, and No.1. Why not buy a set? I'm always using a "Phillips" No.2 on my Kawasaki, which I think is the same. Having said that, it's mostly Alen bolts/screws. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

husoi Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Halfords have a good affordable set of 4 https://www.halfords.com/tools/hand-tools/screwdrivers-and-hex-keys/sealey-4pc-jis-screwdriver-set-453366.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Buy a set. If you use the wrong size you've a good chance of wrecking the head of the screw giving you a whole new set of problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a site which sells loads of Chinese tools and even bike parts. You'd be surprised as lots which you'd find under the Sealey etc label are here and at a cheaper price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Halfords think I'm part of a bot farm because of my web address and won't let me look at their website If you could post a screenshot of the set and the sizes therein I'd be grateful. I just want to get an idea of the sizes as I can only find individual ones here Edited April 8 by Cycleops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 As above re sizes but do get them, the grip and fit is night and day between Jis and pz or ph drivers 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerontious Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I often get mocked for saying this (on Facebook)but when I see people talking about the tool kit they got with their Africa Twin or other Japanese bike. And replacing it. Or improving it. I always say keep the screwdriver even if you replace everything else - keep the screwdriver as it will always be a JIS. And the right size for the few fixings that need it. The most important of which is probably the brake fluid reservoir lid. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
