Left hand controls the rear brake, right hand controls the front brake. Here is an introduction about the left and right brakes: 1. Some motorcycles use front disc and rear drum brakes. Some models are equipped with front and rear disc brakes. The so-called left and right brakes should actually be referred to as front and rear brakes. 2. The left and right brake levers or handles are called left and right, but there's no significant difference from any motorcycle's front and rear brakes. 3. Some motorcycles use drum brakes exclusively, though all-drum setups are relatively rare. The difference between front and rear brakes is simply that one stops the front wheel and the other stops the rear wheel. Additional information: The correct way to apply brakes is to start with light pressure, gradually increase to firm pressure, then ease off as the vehicle comes to a stop. The braking force should reach zero exactly when the vehicle stops completely. This is the most ideal braking technique, ensuring passenger comfort and effectively preventing motion sickness.

Efficiency: After removing the thermostat, the engine's operating temperature will be lower than before, which will affect the engine's thermal efficiency, leading to insufficient power. 2. Preheating time: After removing the thermostat in summer, the engine's preheating time will increase several times compared to normal, and the wear on internal parts may even increase by several dozen times. 3. Fuel consumption: Due to the engine's lower operating temperature, poor fuel atomization can occur, which over time can lead to the accumulation of thick carbon deposits, significantly impacting the vehicle's fuel efficiency.
