Should be:

M8 x 1.5

Been a while since I looked - you'll not find imperial sizes on Japanese bikes !

Every single japanese motorcycle ever built has metric fixtures.

The only non metric thing I've ever come across are some brass plumbing type fittings for temp guage sensors,oil pressure switches and netural light switches

I'd love a good screwing off right now
