teather

I tied into the brown/brown wire but you can use the brown/white wire to.

the one's they sell at the local yamaha shop would not work

I cut my brown/white under the dash so the connection is hidden. You can use the brown or the brown/white it doesn't matter as it makes a complete circuit.Cut the wire splice into each end and your done.Make sure you get a closed tether or it won't work.

Closed meaning it makes continuity when the kill switch is in the on or running position right? So if you check continuity when the kill switch is in the normal or running position you should not get open line but should in fact get continuity. Am I explaining this correctly?

What kind of switches are you guys using? The pingle switch seems to be popular.

When I put mine on I used a male crimp connector on one side of the brown/white wire and a female connector on the other side. I then used corresponding plugins on the tether. This way if something ever goes wrong with the tetherswitch or you lose the popoff part you can plug the two ends of the brown/white back together and run without the tether.

Anyone try anything like Pro Armor tether or find a similar normally closed tether? I ordered a UFO one last year and the ****ar ended up being normally open for a dirt bike. I think the roll over valve uses the Pro Armor, I dont want the rollover valve tho...

 

[Duke]

I might try this one, I like the handle bar mount....

I have this one, not a big fan of it, the key doesnt pull out sometimes and it has froze up on me in the mountains before. Had to thaw it to get the sled going.

So Duke, you are saying that you now use the pingle and don't like and are wanting to try the pro armour? I was leaning towards the pingle.is the pro armour the one with the t handle?

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

you WILL waste your money when it goes up in smoke!!

had one and it smoked, friend had one and it smoked as well.

Run a normally closed AC (I have one for sale.. lol) or the one for the OFT racing / Jacobs roll over valve (which I now run)

Yes, I currently have the Pingle with metal key. I've seen alot of stretched and broken tether cords with them. Hate to have a fkd motor because my key didnt pull. I might order the pingle with the rubber key, it mounts on the handle bar. I'm sure it would work good. I wonder how well the Pro Armor works, looks like it could ice up too?

 

[thinksnow]

Whatever you guys choose, stay away from the Gunnar kill switches. They are total junk and should be pulled from the market. I smoked two of them and they did nothing for warranty.

I went with the Pingel and no problems since.

no, it states it is for a normally open circuit. The yamaha's are a normally closed circuit. Something to keep an eye on when looking for tethers...
