Leaving work out the main entrance the gate sensor sees me just fine. East gate also. Except I normally hit the left edge so I can exit as the gate starts to open. Today I was about 3 feet closer to the center and it didn't open. I was not over the buried sensor wire. Duckfooted back, pulled forward over the line marking the wire and the gate opened. Tomorrow I'll try the starter trick.

Managed to test again last Friday. You can see a rectangle in the pavement where the sensor wire is buried. Pulling in two feet in from the left edge the gate did not open. Shut down/restart -- still no open. Back up, pull forward over the sensor wire -- gate opens. This is just one sensor. Will test others as I find them.

But tenative conclusion is that placing the bike over the sensor wire (placing what little metal you have closer to the trigger) seems to work better than the small EM field from the starter.

Now, someone needs to buy the Green Light Trigger just to test its reliability, too.

I bought one but so far it a 50/50 chance at the light. I guess it depends on how sensitive the loop was set up. Will inform more when more test is done.

There's one on the bottom of my bike from the previous owner (or at least it was there about 3000 miles ago) and, from what I can tell, it does nothing. Of course, it's possible it does work and I just wouldn't know it until I removed it. Hmmmmm.

Only one way to find out. Pull it off, glue on Velcro fuzz and loop to bike and magnet. Leave off until you find a signal you cannot trigger. Back away, apply magnet, reapproach. Other than the one exit from the parking lot I have yet to find a trigger Thumper doesn't trip. But then, it is rare that a cage isn't on my tail.
