Does anyone know if there is a way to make the red light turn green on a motorcycle?

Answer 1

Your bike doesn't have the magnetic mass to trip the automatic change mechanisms found at most intersections. There are a couple of tricks that will sometimes work and they are: (A) Shutting off the engine and restarting it. (B) Putting out your kickstand increases magnetic area and sometimes will also work.
There is a device you can get that attaches to the frame of your bike that increases the magnetic mass. Look at the site below.

Answer 2

i think what he is talking about is a myth like thing cause ppl say that if you are at a stop light and you flash your hi beams you can make the light turn green like how an ambulance or a police car does. i hate to tell you, you cant do it in a car or motorcycle. the lights turn by weight if the weight sensor picks up that there is something on it, it sends a signal to the box that tells the light you are there so it can change. cop cars on the other hand have a device that is used to change the lights they interact with a sensor usually on the light pole that sees the car or ambulance (or bus depending on where you are from) and changes the lights so that they are green when they are close. sorry to disapoint you but to prove it look at the ground where you stop at a stoplight you will see squares that are cut an tared back or they may be other shapes but they are there just look.

When you pull up to a light, put your bike in neutral and put the kickstand down. This works about 70% of the time, and giving the engine a good rev sometimes works too. Most sensors are inductive wires that detect a change in the inductive field, i.e. big hunks of metal. Bikes aren't very big, but the metal in the kickstand or the EMF from a high-revving generator can trigger them.

I suppose you could buy one of those "green light" magnets, and while they work good I believe it's the responsibility of your local Dept of Transportation to make sure the sensors are set up properly. If you have a particular light that just won't change, call the D.O.T. and thell them about it.

Check your local laws under defective traffic lights. In Colorado, if you sit at a light or turn arrow that won't change for two cycles or 4(?) minutes, you can consider it "defective" and proceed through the intersection WHEN SAFE.

Answer 4

I've had that same problem. I read that the sensors in the road work magnetically. There isnt enough metal on the bike, like there is on a car, to trigger it to make the light turn green. You can buy an electro-maget that attached to your bike that will trigger the light. Here is a site that explains it and you can buy the magnet.

Answer 5

Yes .. enter the lane to one side or the other.. not in the center where most cyclist stay.. the weight sensors are placed to the outside of the lanes to coincide with the placement of regular vehicle tires.. so your tires need to ride in the same area to set off the signal that a vehicle has entered that lane..

Answer 6

There are products that are powerful magnets that attach to the underside of your bike to help trip the sensor. I've never used them so I don't know for sure if they work.

I have tried putting my bike in neutral and dropping the kickstand and that seemed to work.

Answer 7

put a green light in

Answer 8

Dont go to the first car position stay at second car position on the second circle in the road

Answer 9

maybe if we knew what kind of motorcycle cycle it is and what light it is

Answer 10

No, either wait for a car or go through when safe.
