I've used the same method on intersections that aren't motorcycle friendly and get the same results. Also try riding either to the left or right of center over the sensors. This works for me too.
When I come in to a traffic light, I try to brake hard right on the wires in the pavement. Sometimes I'll stomp my foot on the wire to let it sense I'm here and waiting for a Green.In Pa., Lower Bucks County, alot of the traffic sensors are in the pavement.
These do work on motorcycles and bicycles, although you can get a big magnet at the hardware store to do the same thing. Basically it tricks the sensor into thinking that there is a larger mass over the coil. I learned that touching the center stand or side stand will trigger a stubborn light or if on a bicycle, you can lean it over until the pedal touches the ground. Occasionally, I just get a kick out of just running the red light.
