Yeah, get complete set of metric sockets to work on this bike. SAE sizes will always be slightly off with extra wiggle. Although 16mm and 5/8" size for spark-plugs are pretty close. But 16mm is 0.8% larger, so you may have gone next size up from 5/8" and gotten loose fit.
Good to have spark-plug specific tool. I use one of these:
Thin-walls gives extra clearance vs. regular sockets.
