i wear it around my wrist
Do you ride with your teather?
- Thread starter ARMYSLEDER
- Start date
Yes but with the motor off, it slows much more quickly due to the friction of the belt running through the sheaves.
We have 4 reasons that customers tell us why they want a Cordless Teth-Air.
The above is #1
#2 is throttle sticking wide open like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scZHnSve0eA
#3 is for the 4 strokes that seize upside down when idling and the rider is swimming in chest deep powder but just can't get there in time.
#4 For security as the Teth-Air will shut down the sled within 1 second if the trasmitter tag is not present on start-up.
So where is the poll for using the Cordless Teth-Air option?

Teather? Never heard of such a thing, perhaps you meant tether? :face-icon-small-hap
yep, all the time even at work. (work at a ski hill)

What DJ said. Saved me/my sled twice. If you don't use one then you're just plain ignorant in my book (and will figure this out sooner or later at a cost a lot higher than you expect)!

If I was doing any mountain riding I would, never had one on my trail sled but didn't have it on big n steeps either.

Sorry bud I will try and add it. Can you elaberate on what a Teth-air is exactly, how much $$$$, and how it works?

Teth air is a cordless tether system
I do both. Why? Well, sometimes I remember and sometimes I forget.

I always wear one now that I ride the mountains. Didn't really matter much for trail riding when I was doing that before. I really don't understand why it would bother someone though. I move around on my sled all the time and have never had any issues with the tether being in the way or pulling out. Maybe I'm not trying hard enough...
I always wear mine. If you make a loop and wear it around your wrist it will not get tangled as much as wearing it on your jacket. Teth-Air looks like the real deal.

FYI: Etec's will run upside down too w/ the direct injection. But they won't seize up unless the oil tank is low.
I wear mine attached to right hand glove, it doesn't move if I'm riding. Most gloves have a clip and ring for each pair.

X2 G MAN ----- always, always wear it - i watched it go thru a meadow WFO without me on it after I fell off on a carve and the throttle decided to stick. Thank god it was fresh pow and it flipped a couple of times - landed upside down (no damage, just popped the windshield out - I'm friggin lucky) before hitting the trees - almost took out my buddy. Like some of you, I thought it was silly and a PIA before but now I hardly push the starter without clipping it to my coat.

The Teth-Air is a radio tether system that shuts down the sled with-in 1 second when the transmitter tag (worn on your wrist) becomes farther from the receiver (mounted under the hood of your sled) than approx. 10ish ft. (antenna length dependant)
The sled can be forced off at a closer distance by covering the transmitter completely.
This device is for thoses guys who know a tether is a good idea but just can't bring themselves to having a cord strapped to them all day. Or they worry about getting it caught in the bars, tree branches or pulled into the track like what happened to my son when he was about 10 years old.
They are $299 and stocked at a few dealers in Alberta, Sask, B.C. and down in Washington.
Cheers,

If I am not just putting around, my tether is clipped to my jacket, too many close calls. The Teth-Air is a sweet idea, I like the idea.

i wear it now. last wed my throttle stuck on my xp and i didn't have the tether on and it hit a tree. tether for me now always
I always got ribbed about wearing mine all the time. Watched my buddy's m8ghost ride down the hill at Revy and into the fir trees on friday at about 40 mph. He wants me to order in a tether for him. Karma is a bitch...
B
If I go farther than my yard the tether gets attached to my TekVest. Have had my carbs stick before, and I'd rather have my sled killed when I fall off than take the chance of it running away.

i never did till a friend fell off and the sled landed on the left side with the left hand throttle wide open and he was under the track. The track burned a deep grove in his helmet and into his neck mm away from the main vain almost died and now a massive scar to remember it. Think about it it it only takes a second to put it on
Rhino, you are correct, however start your sled, and pull on the front bumper to move it, then do it with the motor stopped. Much more resistance with the motor stopped. That is the basic thought on this, that and it does kill it of a WOT incident happens, or you roll it, fall off, and it lands in the tree with the flipper pinned to the bar until it blows up. Seen that happen once ..... very ugly.
