traffic light sensors

[DieMonkeys]

I just put my bike right over the lines in the road. I have yet to have a traffic light not turn.

Did that today. It did not change for me, went through several cycles without my light changing.

Tennessee passed a law saying that If a motorcycle/scooter is the ONLY one at a redlight then if there is no cars in plain sight it is legal for them to run the light... thats what my MSF course instructors told us

around here most of the cut lines aren't rectangular... they're circular. should i park in the middle? along the edges? or am i just screwed?

cover as much of the line as possible...

Ive thrown my bike into neutral a few times, kickstand down and ran and hit the pedistrian crosswalk button a couple times..... gotta be quick though...

Yep, seen this problem too. Found motorcycle spurs on the web. No worse feeling than wanting to obey the law and have to break it. Got ticketed. His advice was, Wait. Had to find a better way. An intersection is the worst place for a motorcyclist to be stopped. My 2 bits.

If you have a center-stand drag it through the loop box and the light will cycle.

Understood. While moving, lowering the stand may not be so good. It may have to be down for sometime. Some lights have memory off to allow right-hand turns. Anyway, my sportbikes don't have stands. Lost the one off the vmax to get the Cobras on. The motorcycle spurs have helped my riding. Thanks.

Good string. This sensor talk goes back for some years in this forum. People are really trying to help. Great.

Found the link to the site where I got the motorcycle spurs.

I have not had any problems. I just ride the sensor lines up to the restraint line and put the engine right over the corner of the loop.
