Disclosed is a motorcycle clutch actuator, with mechanically linked foot clutch pedal and hand clutch lever, to be installed on motorcycles made with or to be converted from a conventional configuration of hand activated clutch and foot activated gear selection lever, to a configuration of foot activated clutch and hand activated gear selection lever, providing optimal clutch control with either a foot clutch pedal or a hand clutch lever, by means of innovative control linkage geometry and minimization of friction throughout the control linkage, releasing the rider's left foot from the foot clutch pedal, while holding the clutch in the disengaged position with a hand clutch lever, as the motorcycle is running while in gear, thereby enabling the rider to balance the motorcycle with both feet. The disclosed invention will improve safety in the operation of motorcycles equipped with a hand gear selection lever and a foot clutch pedal.
