A1Difficulty 3/5

In the conventional layout of a manual-transmission motorcycle, which group of controls is usually operated with the left hand?

Correct answer

The clutch lever, horn and dipped/main-beam selector.

The clutch lever, horn button and dipped/main-beam selector are usually on the left. The throttle grip and front brake lever are usually on the right. Layouts may vary by model and some motorcycles have no manual clutch: check the manual and become familiar with all controls before riding. This does not mean every lighting switch is on the left.
