Had the same problem on my bike. (also a Kawi)

Sears Easy Read sockets for some reason are thinner and worked fine. Don't know about the size for a Mojave, but the bike was 18mm.

Or you could just do like your friend says. That's what I was about to do till someone told be about the Sears socket.

You don't know for sure until you try it. That's why your "smart" buddy had to grind a socket to make a special plug wrench for his engine.

Or just use a spanner - try 3/4" as a starting point. Coincidentally I find that the old sthil imperial plug wrenches work as well. - Kawi Bayou KLF-220

Amazon 14 bucks works perfectly but a pain just to change a plug
