Crank bike and start backing out of garage when the garage door starts closing. Managed to stop bike and move it forward enough to keep door from hitting tourpack. The garage door bent the antennae, but I was able to straighten it out. Not sure what the hell happened, but I did have the high beam on. Not sure I have figured this out yet, but it appears that starting the bike with the high beam on will intermittently cycle the garage door to close without hitting the switch. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

 

Do you not have a safety beam across the bottom that would automatically sense something present and force the door up?

Maybe you did not back up enough the the tire/wheel was detected? Just guessing.

Of course that would not explain why it went down.

Glad there was not more damage.

 

Your emergency sensors aren’t working properly someone could get hurt i would get them fixed.

 

Do you have a garage door opener wired into the bike? The HD opener on my bike operates the garage door by flicking the hi/lo beam switch. If the garage door did not stop when it hit the bike then the light beam safety on the door is probably out of alignment. The safety beam is usually mounted on the door roller rails, about 6" off the floor.

 

The garage door would hit the tourpack long before the rear wheel would trip the safety beam, even if properly adjusted I would think.

Glad it wasn't worse. Sounds more like an issue with opener than the door itself/safety beam since the door appears to have moved without any input from you. I use a mo-door opener on its own switch to safeguard against this ever happening.

 

Mine did that a few times. Door would close when starting the bike. It’s not working at the moment and have been too lazy to reprogram it so I’ve been using the opener in the windshield bag. I agree the overhang of the tour pack will allow the door to hit it before wheel trip the sensor

 

Watch those wives with the remote, they can be sneaky bitches !!!!! Did you **** her off the night before.

 

You win. Didn’t think of that.

 

mine will do that every time if on hi beam when started that's because the light will go out just long enough to make the door think you flashed your lights i think this is on 14 and up with that flash to pass switch on the new bikes i have a habit of running on hi beam lights during the day for safety plus if the hi beam goes out you always have low beam to go home one even if your out after dark and besides that it seams like the low beam is always the one to go out
