It is much easier if you just tie into the wires that went to your igniton switch. On models equipped with an electric starter, it isn't as simple as just grounding the ignition coil.

I haven't done one with the 250EX yet, so I don't know which wire is what. Tell me how many wires you had going to the ignition switch and what colors they are.

I also need to know if you are planning to continue using the ignition switch with the tether switch in conjunction.

If the 250EX has the two wire ignition switch, it's only going to run when the circuit is open. Exactly the opposite of what you might think would be open.

He is probably wiring up a tether, so he can ride at a local track or just wants one.
