Spark plugs

Hey Kymco family. I'm still riding my 2016 Like 200i all over the city even in the winter, ah a nice crisp ride is refreshing. Here's my question. Have any of you tried running a higher temp plug in the 163cc engines? I have been considering the CR8HSA instead of the stock CR7HSA. Anyone have experience in this area? Reason? I want a little more kick out of the scooter. I did put a new plug in cr7hsa but I'm not feeling the power I did before. Air filter is clean and all oil changes have been 1500 miles or less on full synthetic. I have not tried messing with the transmission sliders or anything in there. The bike is in near perfect condition with no damage to it at all. All systems seem to be running good. No codes in the system. It can be a tad bit sluggish when starting needing a little twist of the throttle to get it started up.
What do you guys think?

I've not changed heat ranges, but I do like the small change I found after switching to an Iridium NGK. The switch raised the idle speed some....giving me a bit more reassurance when sitting at a light in heavy rains in heavy traffic 🙃
A time and a place where you'd not like a stall or stumble when the light goes green!
Most autoparts stores can get me one in 24hrs. $7 or $8. Last forever.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Ah, I wondered about the Iridium plugs and almost bought on the last change out. Looks like I'll be buying one, probably ordering it but either way I'm getting one.
Thanks Stig! You're always a huge help.
