I have a tach on my LIKE 200i - I have noticed that the idle speed fluctuates. (cold, warm, hot - it fluctuates)
The idle starts out at @ 2200 on a cold start, settles to @ 1940 within 30 seconds, and fluctuates once there between 1920 and 1820 RPM's. I do not hear a distinct "lope" - but when I came to a stop light the
first time after installing an Iridium spark plug I do remember thinking to myself,
"the idle is smoother now and the idle speed has increased some!" I did not have my tach installed yet, so have no idea what the stock, pre-Iridium idle speed was. It is supposed to be 1700RPM +/- 100 RPM. I have never seen 1700 since putting in the tachometer.
What I am saying is that- I do not notice a lope now (with the Iridium plug) - but I remember distinctly thinking the "idle has smoothed with this new Iriridium plug in there." Maybe I noticed a 'lope' before, maybe it was something else. It was
not a dramatic change - but it was enough to make me stop worrying that the new scoot might die at a stop light if I didn't play with the throttle.
So, my question to you is : "Do you have an Iridium plug in your LIKE?" If not, you might give one a try. (Denso and NGK both make one for the LIKE 200i)
If you already have one in there - I'd suggest you turn up the radio and quit worrying about any little lope in our one-banger scoot. 'Tis the nature of this mighty beast!
