When you put the new one back in, put 'Never-Sieze' grey grease on the threads and you will never have trouble with that plug getting it out 5 years from now.

The Yam TTR600 (or TT600R if you prefer) has the same issue, with a very deep spark plug. After trying every spark plug spanner I have ever owned, + a few, I solved it by buying a new, very deep spark plug socket (but not so deep that it fouls the frame above the engine) combined with a socket set universal joint and the rachet drive.
Even then, this whole arrangement fits only in one particular position under the bike frame/fuel tank and it turns the plug about 1/4 - 3/8 turn at a time: enough to tighten or slacken the thread.
