Default Spark plug socket size?

Need to do put some new spark plugs in my F3, I no longer have the toolkit that came with the bike. Bought it without one sadly.

What size spark plug socket do I need?

I did a search and found the tips I need to access them, but tried a 5/8 socket and seems big.

Thks.

Well after talking with two dealerships, Santa Barbara Honda said that she just checked the manual at it is a 14mm plug. Then as a second reference the other dealership(huntington beach) said it was definetely a 16mm. Funny enough after trying the other plugs, I learned they perfectly fit the 5/8th I was using BUT the one plug which I first tried is actually stripped and that is why it felt like the socket was too large and was just spinning around the plug. So after two turns I could tell soemthing was not right and brought it into the shop.

Well u know, 5/8 is slightly bigger than 16mm so its possible that who ever had the bike before stripped it by attemping to remove a tight plug with it
