Traffic lights not changing

[Akzle]

no-one cares.

anyone tried putting magnets on the bottom of their bikes?

Yes, but the first time I rode over a manhole cover I did a stoppie and went over the handlebars.

You mention magnets and bottom...all that floats into my mind is the porn version of Robocop I saw in Hamburg a year or two ago

On the plus side, you will pick up screws that miss the front tire, but were heading for the rear. You might het home and find a new set of pliers stuck under your bike.that's a bonus.

Never had a problem with this. When you approach the intersection note where the sensors are on the road. Ride right on top of them. If that doesn't work, put your side stand down right on top of it.

The sensors work by induction so needs a good bit of metal to register that something is there. Often times the sidestand will do the trick.

edit original idea... small magnet on underside of bike

The lights are triggered by a changing magnetic field as your bike passes over the induction loop. Your Hyosung is made primarily of plastic, so no changing magnetic field.

thats interesting, I wander why my friends cbr125 wont trigger them then, being a steel frame, My Suzuki gw250 triggers it all day long...

Now thats an answer that I like. (confirmation bias for the win)



Bag on Hyosungs all you want people, I don't care. Mine is just a means to an end and that end is exactly 12 months away from today.

That's a waste of time, there's more than enough metal in the bike for the loops to register - I spent about six years installing such wonders into the road (truth be told it's literally just insulated electrical cable), when in good condition they will detect a steel toecap walking over, it's only when their condition degrades from corrosion or other external damage that reduces their sensitivity.

If you experience one that doesn't trigger, report it to the relevant council, don't hang up until you get the CSR (Customer Service Request) number so you know it's definitely in the system. Keep calling and reporting it each week until it's done.
