9/10 Motorcycle shops don't even know what JIS is.
Japanese industry standard. And pretty much the standard fit on cross head screws and fasteners on anything that comes out of Japan.
To be honest, if a fastener has a cross-head fastener, it's likely to be low torque, so any non-Pozi driver will fit it 'well enough' if it's the right size 1,2,3, etc.
However, if you're removing stubborn or rusted fasteners, the correct JIS driver does make a big difference.
I think I'm the only mechanic I've ever met who owns a set of JIS screwdrivers.
I like to use the Vessel Through Tang drivers. They're heavy, but you can give them a whack to dislodge and bite rusted fasteners.
