Spark plug removal

[SV650sRider19]

Recently I've been doing a bit of maintenance on the bike and have tried to get the spark plugs out but I think I need to take the tank off.
Anyone know if I can take the plugs out without taking the tank off, and what tool I should be using?

You just need to take off the seat and raise the front of the tank. You'll need a 10mm spark plug socket and extension bar. To get the front plug, remove the bolt holding the bottom of the radiator, and swing it forwards

One of those to fit whatever size socket set you have. You'll need a couple of allen keys to get the seat and tank off. 6mm and 4mm I think

If you have the tool kit that came with the bike (in a black box under the seat unit, rather than under the seat on a K4) there's a very useful spark plug tool in there.
