clutch lever
Handlebar disengagement control
A clutch lever is the hand-operated lever on a motorcycle or similar vehicle that disengages the clutch, allowing the rider to shift gears.
It's typically mounted on the left handlebar: Pull in the clutch lever before downshifting.
The term distinguishes this control from foot-operated clutch pedals in cars.
