New Biker Needs Help

[Dharmbir]

Do you know what that means in relation to YOUR bike ... ???

it relates to any bike that has hard time triggering traffic light sensors, and it need to be Neodymium magnets above N42

where did you hear that?

from what i understand about them, some are done by mass some are like a metal detector. so why would a magnet help?
you would be better off adding a piece of steel to the underside of the bike but who wants to do that? thats why i said try putting ya side stand down.

try putting ya side stand down.

can you picture someone with a side stand down waiting on traffic lights lmao

Most modern bikes turn off once side stand is down (if in gear).

I am not the one looking for magnet. I'm fine with my traffic light experience.

So far, so good. I stop with my front wheel close to the centre line bisecting the rectangular loop and the system senses that I'm there, triggering the next phase of the lights.

I haven't done an extensive test yet but early results are encouraging.

Try it for yourselves!

Since I swapped over to carbon discs. . .

There was a guy down here raced with CAMS on a 650 BSA. He'd read about a way of balancing the usual shakes out of the BSA - by adding what looked like a keel from the underside of the cases to about 130mm off the ground. No idea if it worked - though he swore blind it did....But I'm sure it would have triggered traffic lights....

I have my doubts about magnets around ChCh - the favourite temporary cover for roadworks here is a sheet of plate steel....Carting one of those around stuck to the bottom of the bike'd be a performance killer, LOL.

I don't have any problem with the bike at traffic lights - there are NONE in Whakatane or Opotiki ..

[GazzaH]

Steel, carbon or ceramic disks shouldn't matter ... so long as the wheel rims are conductive metal.

You don't need magnets ... you need a bigger bike ...

More metaller-er

Hobnailed bikers boots work fine

so will a bigger bike.

sometimes you need to find that sweet spot for your bike.
bounce up and down, it maybe a pressure sensor type.
