I haven't tried the magnets myself, but I've read mixed results from others. Most claim they don't offer much (if any) help.

Some people offer two other options. One is to drop your kickstand (don't forget to pull it back up!), which puts the metal mass a little closer to the sensor. Another is to kill the engine and bump the starter.


And I read talk about another law that was passed in several states (can't remember them all) which allows mototcyclists to "run" any light which has delayed them for at least 2 complete cycles. If you get skipped a 3rd time, it's okay to run the light no matter what the time of day.


I haven't had many problems since there's so much traffic around here (I'm rarely alone at a light) but I do whatever is best for the situation. Luckily, I haven't had any tickets in many years, so I don't worry much about running a light if needed. If the law doesn't save my bacon and the cop isn't understanding, then so be it....I'll just accept whatever happens.


Edit: Nice link Kato. I guess it's a "reasonable" time period and not the light cycle, but that's the law I was thinking of.
