Anyone ever have this problem? Right now there is only 1 (one) streetlight in my town, but 2 more are being installed. Just curious how common is this problem.

i've heard you can get as good results by sticking a rare-earth(read: *REALLY STRONG*) magnet on your bike, or touching the center-stand (if you've got one) to the loop in the pavement.
bonus points for attaching the magnet to the center-stand, and dropping that.

Dosen't do shit.

I've read other boards' threads about that rip-off.

the best thing to do if there is a problem, is to call the highway dept (town if it is a town maintained light, and the state if it is a state maintained light) normally they adjust the lights to trigger with a bicycle.

I have seen lights that don't work for some motorcycles that work for me... steeltoe boots?

The best thing I've found is to kill the bike and start it again. I read about that in wunna the m/c rags, and it hasn't failed me yet...

Aren't lights just on timers anyways?

I didn't think they actually "detected" anyone sitting there..

D'OH! Backfire!

Some lights are on timers. Others are on sensors...some use loops in the ground while others use little eyes up on the poles to detect the presence of a vehicle.

Fucking gay I say, put 'em all on timers.

I just line my bike up with the sensor stripe, and it works..Got that big steel flywheel in there! I guess it's enuff to trigger the field.

I stamp my feet once i stop and i can see the cutout line where the sensors are. Hey, it works for me
