It's worked for me on occasion. It all depends on how deep they buried the wire,the size/shape of the loop,where the sensitivity is set on the sensor unit,etc. In a lot of cases,a bike is just barely out of sensing range and just a small increase will trip the system. Even those goofy small magnets could work in some cases,I guess....probably not tho',sorry bro. Oh I forgot,the age of the loop makes a big difference as they're making them a lot more sensitive because of the way cars are being made these days. I've had to replace them at dealerships because they wouldn't react to new,smaller,less ferrous cars.

I normally don't have a problem, but the kickstand thing has helped for me in the past.

I've heard that before... just hit the starter while your at the light... I've done it a couple times... nothing... but it could be because mine was too far away

The intersection had me sitting again this morning. It must be an older one as you can't see when the wires/sensors are located. My suburban trips it about 50' from the light but I'm not sure if it's left or right side of the single lane
I've tried the kick stand drag too with no luck. My bike is a 1993 Kawasaki ZR1100 so it's old school steel frame. Thanks for all the replies. Jeff |
