Is the left hand of a motorcycle the front brake?

[OEliza]

The left-hand control lever of a motorcycle, if it is a straddle-type motorcycle, is the clutch, not the brake; if it is a scooter, the left hand controls the rear brake, while the right hand controls the front brake. Regardless of the type of motorcycle, the right hand always operates the front brake. Additionally, some motorcycles are equipped with a linked braking system, where even if only the rear brake is applied, the front brake will also engage to some extent. Daily braking precautions: Apart from emergency braking, daily braking also requires skill. For example, it is common to see many beginners experience a "nodding" phenomenon when braking, which is fundamentally caused by improper use of the brakes. The force applied to the brake pedal is crucial. The correct technique is to start with light pressure, gradually increase it, and then decrease it as the vehicle comes to a stop. Ideally, the braking force should reach zero at the exact moment the vehicle stops. This method ensures a comfortable ride for passengers and effectively prevents motion sickness. Of course, on uphill roads or special sections, the braking force needs to be adjusted accordingly. For example, when stopping on an uphill slope, the braking force should be increased again just before the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
