Ok. I got the cap off but there's no way I'm getting any tool in there and successfully engaging it to get the plug out without taking the coolant reservoir out. There just isn't enough gap. Socket set with plug socket and extensions or the toolkit spark plug tool. Neither will fit in there. I'm not sure if my bike has something different done to it.
As it is I'm happy that the plug is also an Iridium plug the same as the others (which were all in good condition) so has been replaced during the bike's life. I was concerned someone else might have given up trying to access it and left an old plug in there.

I'm going to leave it for now as I've only recently changed the coolant but will get it out next time I do it again.
