Correct answer
Certain motorcycle controls can be adjusted according to the rider's physical characteristics
Some controls can be adjusted so the rider can reach and operate them comfortably, where the model permits and following the manufacturer’s handbook. Do not ride with rigid arms and completely locked elbows. In the conventional layout, the right hand operates the throttle and front brake, and the left hand operates the clutch. Check control reach and operation before setting off; do not improvise changes that compromise their operation.
