In the standard layout of a motorcycle, which control is usually operated with the left hand?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is the clutch. As a general rule on manual motorcycles, controls are distributed as follows to separate braking, acceleration, and transmission functions:  Left Hand: Operates the clutch lever, which is necessary to disconnect the transmission from the engine to change gears.  Right Hand: Controls the throttle (twist grip) and the front brake lever.  Left Foot: Operates the gear shift lever.  Right Foot: Operates the rear brake pedal. Therefore, the accelerator is handled with the right hand and the gear shift with the foot, making the clutch the only correct option for the left hand.
