they make special magnets just for this type of problem. It generates a magnetic field equal to a large truck. All you do is buy one and mount it under your bike. problem solved.

Running it is not an answer, but a lot of people do it. truth is, most of them don't understand how the system works.

Couldn't hurt. The main reason the sensors don't see bikes is because of the small magnetic field. I'm going to try one, can only help.

Put your sidestand down - works for me.

Either that or move forward and motion the car behind you to move over the sensor.

another thing i found that works, is turning off the bike , then restarting it, the starter motor generates a magnetic field when turning over, this works for me....good luck

peace

Those are not weight sensors. They are metal detectors.

In a lot of cities you can go thru a red if the light has cycled a few times and no ones coming.
Usually you have to drive right on top of the loop sensor saw cut (look for black sealant). Although, I notice
this has no affect on a few of the lights in my area.
I have heard of people using magnets from old hard drives.
I like "trextreme"'s idea of starting the bike over the sensor...have to try that.

Stopping and starting the bike always works for me. A friend has a 50 cc moped with severe problems at
lights like this, and restarting the bike works for her too.

The magnets should work, but no experiences with them.
