Many of the coils read ignition pulses or an electic field. Sometimes reving the engine a few times will up the ignition output enough to trigger them. Being in the center of the lane and not over running the stop line can help too.
On the magnets they only work for the metal detector type. An old magnet from a discarded hard drive hung under your bike from the center stand would be a way to test on the cheap if this would be a valid option in your area.
My fuel injected Aprilia seems to trigger more than my Lance did however it has a much higher capacity stator and creates a bigger ignition pulse.
The newer overhead motion detection sensors have not been a problem.
The law here is to wait 2 cycles of the light and then proceed with caution if it does not turn green for the left hand turn.
