I imagine they'd be the same M3 thread, if it's an M3 x 6 csk - but accept I may be wrong. Could check on CMSNL.
Just checked the screws I bought for the Gpz1100B1 and the Z1000R2 last week, which are the same for those two models and the same part number as the Z900 A4 - 221C0306 which is superceded by 221AB0306

And when you use them.........
Make sure that you check that they aren't too long, it is possible to screw through the badge, through the mounting bar and perforate the tank-that's not a good outcome, be careful

The JIS B 1012 is commonly found in Japanese equipment. It looks like a Phillips screw, but is designed not to cam out and will therefore be damaged by a Phillips screwdriver if it is too tight. Heads are usually identifiable by a single dot or an "X" to one side of the cross slot.[29]
Specific "JIS" standardized cruciform-blade screwdrivers are available for this type of screw.
