    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Does anyone know if those devices they sell (like on ebay) that mount underneath the bike for tripping the stoplight sensors really work?
 
Don't waste your money. Pull up with one of the sensor wires on the left side of your bike. Put the bike in neutral and drop the side stand for a few seconds. Thats should trip the sensor.
 
I'm not familiar with your bike, but if it has a centerstand I usually tap that on the road once or twice. If that fails, just check to make sure there are none of that cameras that take pictures of people running red lights and wait for a break in the traffic.
 
I had always wondered if thos stupid magnet things did anything. I guess I know now. Very cool idea for tripping those sensors...
 
I found out years ago that steel-toed boots do a good job of tripping the traffic signal sensors *Grin*

Remember to retract that sidestand before taking off . If you don't you will look like this :oops:
 
That is an excellent idea with the sidestand.

I usually just wait untill there is a break in traffic then go. I have had to do this numerous times.
