Tether Install

I was hooking up my kill switch today and I though why not take some pictures and do a how to. It's very simple and only takes 45min-1hr. Most race tracks require one and I think it's just a good idea to have on.
 

 
user posted image The tools needed are: ratchet, 8mm socket, straight screw driver, needle nose pliers, small extension, crimpers, and depending on your teather mabey a small allen key, a heat gun(a lighter will work just as well)
user posted image Other materials: Teather switch, heat shrink tube, 1/4" male spaid connector, 1/4" female spaid connector, an eyelet connector, and a couple of zip ties
 
user posted image To start you have to take out the 2 bolts on both sides, that connect the fender into gas tank.
user posted image then take out the bolt on each side of the front of the gas tank
 
user posted image Then take off the 2 rubber straps (one on each side) that hold the rear of the gas tank on, I use pliers to grab the metal clip from the top. It's kind of hard to see in the picture, but I circled the strap. It's not necessary to take off the back plastic, but it does make it a little easier.
Then MAKE SURE to turn the gas off and slide the clip back on the fuel feed line, then remove the feed line, then remove the gas tank.
user posted image Once the gas tank is removed, remove the plastic plugs from the engine cover and the coolant overflow jug

user posted image Then slide it out to the side
user posted image Now that all of that is out of the way unplug the wire connected to the coil
 
user posted image Take your tether switch and crimp on the eyelet connector to the ground wire (on my Pro design the longer wire is the ground check your directions first)
user posted image I used a butt connector and connected two wires to the other wire to split them like this and crimp on a male spaid and a female spaid connector
user posted image Then slide the heat shrink tube over the connectors and use the heat gun(or lighter)
user posted image When that's all done it should look like this
user posted image Now all you have to do is mount the kill switch on your bars, and route the wires down the left side to the coil
user posted image Hook up the ground wire to the bolt where the coil is grounded, at the back of the coil, under the frame rail
user posted image Connect the female spade connector to the coil, and the male to the wire that originally was on the coil.
 
user posted image Secure the wires to the frame with a couple of zip ties and put everything back together, make sure to put the breather tube back on if you knock it off while putting the engine cover back on
