Question 7614
In the most common control layout of a motorcycle with a manual transmission, which of the following controls is operated with the left hand?
- The clutch control.
- The throttle control.
- The rear wheel brake control.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The clutch control.
On a motorcycle with a manual transmission and the usual control layout, your left hand operates the clutch lever. Your right hand twists the throttle grip and operates the front brake, and you press the rear brake with your right foot. On automatic motorcycles, which do not have a clutch, the left lever brakes the rear wheel.
