Overview 3: Thumb controls
Who knew that every part of your body was involved in riding a motorcycle — right down to your thumbs!?!
Pictured below are the controls manipulated by your thumbs.Your right thumb is your engine control thumb. It controls the engine start button — with a press of this button you bring your engine to life — and the engine cutoff switch — a flick of your right thumb stops your engine without removing your hands from the handlebars. Because your right hand controls the throttle, it is easy to remember that your right thumb controls your other inputs to the engine. Sweet!
Your left thumb is your signaling thumb — ways to get attention and noticed! From top to bottom are your headlight switch, turn signals, and horn.
Okay, we’ve talked about how your hands and feet are involved with the primary controls, and how your thumbs work the controls near the handgrips, what body part haven’t we assigned a job to? Oh, our eyes!!!
