Sensors are inductive, not weight; attach strong magnets to the underside of the motorcycle. Places with a significant number of motorcycles will often install a more sensitive loop in the front.
It's only necessary to roll back and forth once, slowly, just far enough to put your car over the second loop. In some cases, rolling up to the limit line very slowly will work. The trick is to get your car over both loops so the signal "sees" more than one car waiting.
The 7-11/Huina intersection slopes down from the highway, shifting to neutral makes for a nice slow roll. I sometimes park at the 7-11 and walk over to J Hara just so I can use the signal to get out during rush hour.
(Because the loops are inductive, they only work when they're right on the surface of the road; this is why they have to be rebuilt when the road is repaved.)
