Finally had a day to myself and installed new ebc friction discs and springs , YouTube certified! I had my factory manual too . Never done a bike clutch before so it was New to me but not too bad a job . Only thing I didn't know was that the clutch basket screws were phillips vs hex which is what I saw in the vid . Used my manual impact and rhe big phillips head did a great job getting em out , cleaned it all up soaked friction discs and sanded the steels all went back together pretty good .although I did discover my crossover pipe is dust

Generally Ok.
It looks like you took the opportunity to remove that awful RTV, good! 
Yeah it was all over inside the caseIt looks like you took the opportunity to remove that awful RTV, good!
They’re actually JIS, not Phillips. I’m glad you were successful in removing them. That’s why you saw hex heads in the video. Someone ruined the JIS heads somewhere along the timeline.
Yeah, the manual impact is have has a more pointy phillips head that didn't mar the screws , worked well
Aside from getting the JIS headed bolts out the hardest thing is putting the washers, bearing and spacer back in the correct order - and cleanup.
I didn't remove the whole basket just a disc swap
Those screws are #3 JIS and #3 phillips works fine on them.
If you got em out with a #2 it wasn't the first time they've been out, Jus' say'n.

The friction didn't look terrible but baike sat for like 10 years
