The rear brake is controlled by
- a button on the handgrip.
- a foot pedal. ✓
- the left hand lever.
- the right hand lever.
Answer: B. a foot pedal.
The rear brake is controlled by a foot pedal.
Why this is the answer
The motorcycle handbook places the rear brake lever by the right foot rest and says you press it with your foot to brake the rear wheel. That describes a foot control, not a hand control. The same handbook also calls it the foot brake when it explains holding a motorcycle on a hill, which confirms the rear brake is worked by foot. The front brake is the hand lever on the right handlebar, so the two brakes are not both hand-operated.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. a button on the handgrip. — The handbook describes levers and a foot control for braking, not a button on the handgrip, so this does not match the rear brake control.
- C. the left hand lever. — The handbook does not describe a left-hand lever as the rear brake; the hand brake it identifies is the front brake lever on the right handlebar.
- D. the right hand lever. — The right handlebar lever is the front brake, which you squeeze toward the handgrip, so it does not control the rear brake.
Remember it
Remember it this way: rear brake, right foot; front brake, right hand.
