Makes sense. I haven't removed it much. Prolly will be my solution too.Once you know why the screws are what they are - it's easy to pick up the corrcect screw - even on a bike that you are not familiar with.
I break this rule twice. The lower grey panel below the radiator - is supposed to have two JIS cross head shoulder screws. Mine has 5mm hex head bolts without a shoulder.
I just cannot get my hand and a JIS driver into the space behind the front wheel with enough force to break the rust.
