? no matter how I read that it sounds like 'what thread fit's an M10 Metric fine threaded hole' or do I need another beer?

I go for the beer answer I think...

I'm afraid I don't know for sure but likely on a jap bike. Available mail-order through Namrick.

should be a gap between from and M10 metric fine or a comma!!!

Standard M10 is 1.5mm pitch, I believe our Japanese friends use a fine 1.25mm pitch.
Welcome to he forum.
