Has any one tried those magnetic light triggers?&nbsp\\; If so how do they work (any good or not).&nbsp\\; Also will they affect the electronics of the new fuel injected bikes?&nbsp\\; Thanks in advance for any help.

 

The current traffic sensors no longer sense for the magnetic field created by metal mass of a car - even when they did, they weren't strong 'nuff ta make much of a difference......

 

I just put the jiffy stand on the pavement.&nbsp\\; It works every time.

Save your money for some chrome

 

Great idea with the jiffy stand. Never thought of that one.

 

Check out this site they have a good article on this issue:

So then, how do they work now?
First of all, they never worked that way. The coil of wire embedded in the ground is the magnetic field, not the bike. The bike or car goes into the magnetic field distorting it. That distortion is sensed and read by the traffic signal. Problem is a bike can't distort the field enough for the signal to read it.

 

NEVER HAD A PROBLEM.

BUT I DO PULL UP AND OVER THE ACTUAL LOOP AS BEST I CAN JUST IN CASE
&nbsp\\;
OVERALL...WASTE OF MONEY IN MY OPINION

 

Any good ceramic magnet from an old radio speaker mounted under the frame will work.
