A1Difficulty 3/5

On a geared motorcycle with conventional controls, which control operates the rear brake?

Correct answer

By pressing down the lever located on the right footrest

The pedal beside the right footrest. In this arrangement, the right lever operates the front brake and the left lever, the clutch. Both brakes contribute to slowing and stopping the motorcycle; the rear brake is not only for stabilisation. Brake progressively according to grip and the manufacturer’s instructions. Some models have combined braking or adapted controls.
