tether on turbo apex

[absoluteapex]

Do I use a cat tether switch on a 06 turbo and hook it into the brown wire on the kill switch?

 

[4bangrboost]

yes, a teather is a good idea with boost! they have saved me a few times

Can I cut into the brown wire coming off the key, or brown and white. Does it make a difference. I dont want to add additional wire to the bars, I want to keep the wire under the front cowl.

Wire it from your kill switch

Is there a difference ??

Someone must now the answer. Is it alright to wire this into the ignition swith by way of the brown or brown/white wire ??

You will want your tether as high as possible on your bars or you will pull it out while riding. I had mine on the cowl and had to move it to the bars. It is not good to loose power in bad situations.......

I have an 08 Nytro. I got a "normally closed" teather cord from Ulmer Racing. I cut the in/out lines from the kill switch down under the hood and wired the 2 lines from the teather cord in to those 2 lines. This makes the kill switch useless so I do not accidentally hit it anymore. The 2 wires were enclosed with 2 other wires. I believe the 2 I tapped into were Brown and Brown/white but you can just follow them off the kill switch to know for sure.

If you want to keep the kill swith active just tap into the 2 lines, don't cut them. Self Explanatory for sure but thought I would mention it.

I'm curious as to why a tether is such a necessity. I obviously understand what one does, but why would a turbo sled need one any more than any other yamaha? Doesn't the TORS take care of the problem like it is supposed to. Just ordered a turbo, so I guess I should find out what to do.

Thanks,

the TORS saved my a$$ and my sled twice last year . came over a hill wide open and hit a ridge on the other side hard enough to rotate my bars into the hood . If it wouldnt have been for the tors the throttle would have stuck wide open is there a way of intalling a teather so the tors will still work
