Why is it easier to turn left on a motorcycle?

That’s why it’s “easier” to turn one way or the other… because you’re more accustomed to using one side, which makes it feel more comfortable. When making a left turn, the bike leans to the left, as does your lower body. This creates an angle between the wheels and the road, which is what creates the turning force.

What side is the clutch on a motorcycle?

left
Locating the Controls The clutch is the lever on the left of the handlebar; squeezing it will disengage it and disconnect the drivetrain.

What does twist the throttle mean?

What is the difference between a twist throttle and thumb throttle?

A twist throttle does generally allow for more precise throttle control than a thumb throttle and is less likely to cause rider fatigue. But Thumb throttles better allow the rider to maintain precise throttle control when shifting bodyweight from side to side as needed when riding ATVs.

Why does the throttle stay the same position when turning the handlebars?

This effect increases when the handlebar movement relative to the body placement increases. With a thumb throttle, what is relevant is the relationship between your hand and your thumb. This relationship will not change as you turn the handlebars, which means the throttle lever will stay in the same position.

Why is it so hard to twist on a motorcycle?

This requires more active use of the handlebar’s full range of motion, and the shifting body position affects the angle between the arm and the bars to a greater extent. Hard right turns are particularly difficult to execute. When your body is shifted to the right side, the wrist angle becomes awkward, making it hard to use a twist.

Should you use a twist throttle on your ATV?

PS! Based on the many potential disadvantages and the many stories about accidents or near-accidents involving a twist throttle on an ATV, I strongly advise caution to anyone considering trying one. But in some cases, they may be the preferred option for some. Because, after all, this usually boils down to the rider’s personal preference.
