Which control is usually operated by the right foot on a motorcycle?

Front brake lever
Rear brake pedal
Clutch lever
Choke

The correct answer is: Rear brake pedal

The rear brake pedal is typically operated by the right foot on a motorcycle. This control allows the rider to apply the rear brake, which is an important component of the motorcycle's braking system. By using the rear brake in conjunction with the front brake lever, riders can achieve more controlled and stable braking, especially during slow maneuvers or when coming to a stop. The front brake lever is located on the right handlebar and is operated by the right hand, while the clutch lever is situated on the left handlebar and is controlled by the left hand. The choke, used primarily in certain types of motorcycles to enrich the fuel mixture for starting, is also not foot-operated, but is typically a manual control found near the throttle or on the handlebars.
