I also asked X-pro whom I bought it from, we'll see if they reply soon.
What exactly are "advanced upgrades"?
I already ordered a chain and 17/45 sprockets
Planned on ordering the carb/air filter/exhaust all at once soon as I'm comfortable on the bike.

1.25 sounds right to my brain but I cannot confirm for sure. Metric is relatively easy. The metric thread pitch is the distance between the threads in mm. 1.25 = 1.25mm 1.75 = 1.75mm and so on. In theory you could actually measure the thread peaks with a pair of calipers and determine the pitch that way.
You do want the nut on the left side ideally. The reasoning is that all of the resistance being applied to the axle shaft is turning the axle "righty tighty" which can help keep the nut from coming too loose if it does happen to loosen slightly.
When you get a new nut (preferably a flanged stover nut but even a regular flanged nut will be fine) torque to 30-35ft-lbs and use some blue loctite.
"Advanced Upgrades" - ported head and camshaft. Aka more than just a bolt on exhaust and filter upgrades.
