I cannot find the right size spark plug socket for this thing. I have no idea if the PO even put in the correct plug, but nothing I have works. I have tried 14mm, 16mm, 18mm, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16. I have even tried regular sockets to just see if the size fits like 15mm, 17mm, and 3/4 won't even fit in the space. The dealer said 5/8 but that's not it. I have looked for thin wall sockets but they don't look any thinner than what I already have. Thoughts?
I believe it is a 16 mm thin wall. I have one from Motion Pro that looks like this.
I guess I'll track down one of those. Thanks.
My 5/8” swivel snap on spark plug socket is the only thing I’ve found that will fit. S9706KFUA is the number. Even the thin wall stamped steel socket that came in the owners kit doesn’t fit. I would imagine snap on’s standard non swivel spark plug socket would fit too, but the swivel is nice with the tank in place.
You could always just use an elbatsujda, plenty of room.

Needs to be a thin wall. 5/8ths sounds right. These years KTM made it a special tool/socket. I took one and had my brother spin it down on a lathe. Fit right in.
