Yes, there are specific sockets for spark plugs, usually a deep socket with a rubber insert to stop the plug dropping out. For the ZX bikes you'll need a 'thin walled' type. eBay does them as a set for a sensible price.
I haven't worked on a ninja of this year, but most sport bikes this year require you to remove the seat, then tank, then air box, and the spark plugs should be accessable at that point. It's not difficult, but usually takes a couple hours if you're being careful. Make sure your gentle with the fuel lines.
should be like most 4cylinder bikes...left side coil #1 and #4 plugs right side #2 and #3 plugs. try it if it dont start, then i was wrong. but thats what is on my cbr.
You bike might of came with the tools under the seat . Thats all you should need . You might need to remove the fairings and/or gas tank . If you have under 100,000 miles . You shouldnt need new plugs . It dont hurt to check .
remove the seat batt is hiding right there, make a short lead with a plug female on the end that will hook to your batt, make another lead with coresponding plug male (male female)to hook to charger and you will never have a dead battery agin when done riding plug up the trickle charger PS make the lead under the seat long enough that it will hang out so you dont have to remove seat everytime
