Where is the throttle located on most motorcycles?

• A. On the right handgrip.
• B. On the left handgrip.
• C. Near the seat.
• D. On the fuel tank.

Answer: (A)

Throttling on most motorcycles is done with a twist grip on the right-hand handlebar. Turning that grip opens the throttle, increasing fuel flow and engine speed. This lets your right hand control how fast the engine runs, while your left hand handles the clutch and other controls. The throttle isn’t located near the seat or on the fuel tank, and the left-hand side typically isn’t where throttle is found. So the right-hand grip is the correct location.
