X2...that was always the first mod on any new Jap bike back in the day...replace all possible phillips screws with socket head cap screws...Originally Posted by Scott Larson
After working on metric bikes for too many years, I have several hand impact drivers. (The kind where you put the appropriate bit in the business end and smack the other end with a hammer!) Works every time and they're cheap. Phillips head screws were always a real bastard on those metric bikes and I've discovered they're no different on the VX!It even got the license plate light lens screws out without buggering them up...
FWIW, the first time I did my bearings, I replaced the little stock screws, with little stainless screws (harder) no problem since...
