DL650 Front Calipers Bolt pitch?

The M10 bolts that hold the Calipers on have a fine thread, anyone have an idea of the pitch?

Fine on a 10mm bolt would be M10x1.25
Pat- 2007 DL650A was ridden to all 48 contiguous states. 2012 DL650A outlasted me.
Nicknames I use to lessen typing, Vee = 2002-2012 (K2-L2) DL1000s. Veek=2014+ (L4+) DL1000s. Wee = 2004-2011 (K4-L1) DL650s. Glee = 2012+ (L2+) DL650s

As GW says, M10x1.25, you should pick up a thread pitch gauge for your toolbox?

I bought a few metric fine pitch 2nd taps many years ago and they've saved the day a few times since, cleaning out threads on bikes.
