Does anyone know the thread pitch on the M8 bolts for the lower crankcase? Appears to be 1.25 but I just wanted to check with those that may have more sophisticated ways of confirming.

Take one out and take it to the hardware store. Put it in the bolt finder. Done
 
Bolt finder at a hardware store is a solid way. 1.25 is standard pitch for M8 threads.

The "more sophistocated way" that is fairly cheap to keep in your toolbox is a thread pitch gauge. Little leaves fold out of the gauge with specific tooth pitches and you find the one that matches perfectly. I have yet to meet an M8 thread on a Japanese motorcycle that wasn't 1.25 -- but the fact that I've said that means someone will inevitably comment about one that exists.
 
I need to invest in a bolt gauge like the hardware stores. They are expensive for what they are but when you need it, you need it.
