I need to get one but I've heard that you have to get a special one for this quad is it true? What are some reputable brands and how much should I expect to pay for one? Also are they hard to install or should I have a shop do it? Thanks!

 

hmmm

im not sure about any special tether...


I like Pro Design,,,,and it is reallly easy to install (no matter which brand)

 

Pro Design Killswitch Install for YFZ450

After telling half you guys how to connect your kill switch to the solid white wire, this way is disabled when you install a vortex cdi.

So I've worked out a better way that works for both cdi.
Follow the wires up from the oil filler plug (four wires) to just before the first connector (under the hood) the wires separate into pairs.
Pick the white/red pair and splice the longest wire out of the kill switch into the white wire and the short wire from the k/switch into the red wire.
No need to earth any wire.

Good luck, Geoff.

 

Do I need to get a normally open or normally closed one?

 

Hey I brought mine into the shop and they had to go and get an arctic cat tether.
It works just fine.

 

bump

 

i spent 90$ on a pingel performance one... havent hooked it up yet.. but thats something i gotta do before tomorrows MX race.
an arctic cat teather is the same idea... but i dont like the style it was so i spent the extra 65$...
but like geoff stated... a prodesign one will work...

 

prodesing SUXS omfg mine keep braking.....had to take it apart n customise it alot so it would stop breakin (bad connections)
