Question: 1 / 400

Which control is typically operated by the right hand on a motorcycle?

Shift lever

Engine cutoff switch

Rear brake pedal

Front brake lever

On a motorcycle, the front brake lever is typically operated by the right hand. This control is used to activate the front brake, which is the main brake for stopping the motorcycle. The shift lever (A) is typically operated by the left foot, and is used to change gears. The engine cutoff switch (B) is located near the right hand, but it is not typically operated by the right hand. This control is used to quickly shut off the engine in case of an emergency. The rear brake pedal (C) is typically operated by the right foot, and is used as a secondary brake to assist in slowing down or stopping the motorcycle. Therefore, the correct answer is D as it is the only control that is typically operated by the right hand.
