Where are the clutch and brake levers located on a motorcycle?

Clutch is on the right, brake is on the left
Clutch is on the left, brake is on the right
Both are on the left side
Both are on the right side

The correct answer is: Clutch is on the left, brake is on the right

The clutch lever is located on the left handlebar, while the brake lever is found on the right handlebar of a motorcycle. This configuration allows the rider to efficiently operate both controls using their hands. The left hand controls the clutch, which disengages the engine from the rear wheel, allowing for smooth gear shifts. The right hand operates the brake lever to slow down or stop the motorcycle. This standardized layout is designed to promote safety and ease of use, enabling riders to quickly and effectively manipulate these essential functions during operation. Understanding the placement of these levers is crucial for any motorcyclist, as it directly impacts handling and control while riding.
