You'll kill me for this....

I don't ride mine off road, at least not in any grimy conditions. But it'd seem to be simple enough to fab something up to keep dirt from going down the spark plug access area and not have to worry about crap falling down in there whenever you pull the plug?
Even some sort of sponge material crammed around that long plug wire cap. Something that engine heat won't destroy.

I like the idea of taking the plug halfway out and blasting the area while its dry. I think that would have saved me the stress.
I changed the oil/filter last night as well and saw nothing out of the ordinary... except my eternal battle fidgeting with the filter spring for 10 minutes.

After a field plug change, where I was worried about what happened to you, I now carry a piece of clear hose to blow out the area.
As to the stupid filter spring...Open the end of the spring so it stays in place or put a bit of grease on the end and stick it to the filter and then put the filter in.

Tubing is now included in my kit. I don't feel like spark plug changes are very common on these bikes - but I could be wrong. I'm used to frequent checks/changes with snowmobiles and thus far I've not had the inclination to check the plugs outside of yearly maintenance/winterizing. Maybe once I DJ I'll be checking for lean/rich characteristics...?
