Mine worked great easy to hook up.

Moto-PsychO,
Thanks for the link, but I was hoping to eliminate the stock kill switch completely. The link is for wiring in-line and retaining the stock kill switch.

1st one is made of aluminum second one is made of plastic ,its the one i have. pretty fool proof and straight forward. both are rebuildable.

Did you ever figure this out? I did it tonight, TORS gone, tether working and no kill switch.
Remove the plastic with gage and main ignition switch (thingy with key in it
)Main harness connections (lower right)
The upper steering shaft mount has a bunch of wire looms there. Take the corrugated tubing off the wires that go to the handlebars. There are a couple of looms there in plastic, pick the one that has 4 or so wires in it and feels more defined when pinched. The other one that looks similar has only 2 wires , each in its own sheathing so it doesn't feel the same.
sheathing cut open
Cut the sheathing open. The Brown and Brown/White wires from the sled to the handlebars go to the kill switch. Cut the wires and attach you tether to the side coming from the sled. Note that I used a normally closed tether from arctic cat.
If you want to keep the kill switch, just cut one of the brown wires and splice the tether in there to both sides. This will allow either the kill or the tether to open the circuit and shut the sled down.
FYI - Note that there is also the Black/Blue and Black/Yellow wires. These are for the TORS system. Black/Yellow comes from the computer, Black/Blue goes to ground when the throttle completes the circuit.
Tether Connected (normally closed tether)
Finished
To defeat the TORS, you need to change the configuration at the main junction for the wires. All you do is take the white single connector from the sled and connect it to the black single connector to the sled. They should fit without any cutting or anything. Thanks to TY for this one.
Wires to reconnect
So you just connect the bottom two single wires together (one black connector, one white connector). I taped up the top two as a reminder that it is not stock.
Hope this helps someone.

Thanks for the link, but as mentioned, it is for putting a tether in series with the kill switch as both will be functional. The way I did it deletes the kill switch. Useful for the people (like me) who hit it accidentally.
Pics posted.

fixed info, all is working correctly now.
*Update* I have replaced the arctic cat tether with a gunner tether mounted to the bars. The gunner is a much better unit, easier to use, and able to mount in an accessible location.

TTT and in agreement on the Gunnar setup. First ride this weekend with it and I love it!
Nytro neewbie ?
Why do you want to eliminate the TORS system?

because it sucks a$$.
sometimes it would act up when you dont expect it to. you smash the flipper expecting take-off and tors kicks in and you end up over the f-ing handle bars....then you get back on your sled to find when you try to go your stuck!!!
also it wont keep the sled from running when its upside down and thats a great way too get your oil changed, about 30 seconds and it pumps it all out for you!
O!
Well, that's a good enough reason for me,,,,, she gone!

Well, like others on here, my gunner tether failed. Got the nice smokey smell and it stopped working. What a piece of crap. Back to the arctic cat style....
Gunner, YOU SUCK! Oh well, at least my soldering and heat shrink tubing skills are improving.

I concure Ruffy. Mine smoked too.
Great tether, just not for a normally closed yammi...
There's another $60 down the terlit...

For those who are still interested in tethers with kill switch delete...
Also, a great roll-over version too!
