What is responsible for controlling the front brake on a motorcycle?

  1. The left hand lever

  2. The right hand lever

  3. The foot pedal on the left

  4. The foot pedal on the right

The correct answer is: The right hand lever

The correct answer is the right hand lever. In motorcycle controls, the front brake is typically controlled by the right hand lever. This setup allows the rider to apply the front brake independently from the rear brake, providing more precise control over braking force distribution and helping with stability and stopping power. The left hand lever usually controls the clutch, the foot pedal on the left is typically the gear shifter, and the foot pedal on the right is usually used for the rear brake.
