Title: stop light trigger
Post by: grinningevildeath on June 20, 2008, 12:09:07 AM
Just wondering if anyone has one? do they work. Hate being stuck a a red light for 15+ minutes waiting for a car to come so i can turn [bang]

lots of people put high power neo magnets on their oil filter....me included....and i'm pretty sure they're stronger than the stop light triggers.

i have noticed no difference in stop light action.  so i'd say drop 10 or 15 bucks on a magnet for your filter and maybe it'll work for lights.  but i've seen some of those triggers run like 30 so probably just a waste of the extra money.

i believe they are neodymium magnets. You can just ebay those for pretty cheap.
I just run the lights. If a cop is in the area, i usually just give them a wave, point to hte light and go ahead. Just be safe on the turn.

I'll wait and see if it changes after one "cycle " (or less) then just run the light

+1 on being safe BTW

Just turn off your bike and then start it up again. The starter is a big electromagnet and it is the lowest point. It usually works for me.

I have a couple lights that would never change until I got the neo magnets on the oil filter.  Plus, I figure it helps filter any nasties out of the oil.  Bonus.  But yeah, restarting your bike supposedly works also.
