Yeah, take that bolt to the local hardware store, autoparts store etc. and find a match. That will tell you what thread the bolt is. Then you can get exactly what tap you need to cut decent threads in that hole.
I bought a tap and die set a few years back. I don't use it too often, but when I do it REALLY comes in handy.
Good luck man, you'll get it, just be persistent and keep researching when you have questions.

The KLR hole isn't too bad at all... it actually looks like it's stripped for about the first couple millimeters then it is fine from there on in.
Part of the problem is that I don't know the measurement of the banjo bolt-in-question. I know it's a 7mm head - not that that means anything. The threads themselves are very close together and do not stick out as far as a normal screw or bolt. Here is a picture of the banjo bolt side-by-side with the philips-head bolt from the KLR mounting hardware:
