Can't help with plug spanner size
Ignore the one without pipe on it..............

 

Hi scorpion, i have just bought a plug spanner for my 93 1000f last week.

It is a 12mm long reach, it worked perfectly & only 3 days from order to door, or
you maybe able to get one in a shop local to you. Hope this helps.

 

The other hose is only an overflow or something - mine has one but it just hangs down by the rear wheel.
