what’s the difference between JIS and a standard Philips?

Thank you.

You may already have some and don't know it. At 10 years old my dad brought home a CB350. I did all of the adjustments per the Owners Manual on that bike. I learned then that there was something special about those screwdrivers in the tool kit.
Do yourself a favour, spend a little more and get a decent set. Magnetic end with a through shaft. .....having a through shaft means you can flog on the end with a hammer to help break stuck stubborn screw threads. Make sure the screw head is clean and the screwdriver shaft is square to the screw.......
They can b used as a, (or instead of), an impact driver. Holding the handle in a firm grip with a twisting pressure while hitting the end of the shaft. Can use a shifter on the protruding shaft head for more pressure if the screw is really stuck.
Used properly, I have got quite badly damaged screw heads screws out. Even put back not so bad damaged screws when I haven't had a replacement handy

Maybe! I had a 1972 Yamaha 360 and a 78 Honda 750 I seem to remember an old screwdriver from one of the kits kicking around.
I’ll look tomorrow
Thanks

I have been looking at a set from an extension from Jim’s post I believe , I’ve also inquired to my local shop who seems to get things cheaper than I can find on line at times
