good point, i hadn't though of that. yet another reason not to trust $20 fix-all solutions on the internet.

near the bottom of the bike probably isn't much on an issue, but i can't really say that with any certainty.

Re: traffic light sensors

So, has any one tried the magnets from K and J yet? It is time for me to start thinking of things that need a fix-in so the new riding season will make me smile for miles

Re: traffic light sensors

In North Carolina and a few other states its legal on a motorcycle to run the red light if you come to a complete stop and there's no oncoming traffic.

Re: traffic light sensors

I thought I had replied to this topic a lot earlier but apparently not. When coming to a stop light and it hangs up on you just flip the kill switch, stop engine, flip back and start the engine. The magnetic field generated by the starter will usually do the trick. Works well with the VStrom which has a somewhat larger starter but is also higher off the ground. Try it and see if it works.

Re: traffic light sensors

Thanks for the info Warrior. I will give this a try and report once it gets above freezing here in central IN.
