Question:
Hi from Amsterdam, Netherlands! Im considering using a Tequonsha primus iq to control the brakes on a trailer behind a motorcycle. Is this possible, considering the sideways lean of a motorcycle when cornering? Thanks, Michel

Hey Michel! Yes the Tekonsha Primus IQ part # TK90160 that you referenced can be used on a motorcycle and the turning would not cause any issues with the inertia sensor. It will still only really look for front to back inertia changes and the leaning wouldn't be a problem at all.

Hey Michel, how did things go using the Tekonsha Primus IQ with your motorcycle setup? It’d be great to hear how the braking felt in real rides. Your update could make it easier for others thinking about the same setup.
