E-mail Allen at Ulmer racing. You need a normally closed switch. He can sell you the switch & tell you whic wires to use.

This may sound really dumb, but why is it that our Yammies are to only ones I know of without tethers standard?

I dont know either, they should have come with one, especially since they come with a 12v power outlet. You would think that since yamaha decided to put little things like the outet on, they would have had a tether cord option.
Now I am needing one to race this winter, and need to install one. Going to to and find a place where I dont have to drill through my plastic.

An option you have, if you plan to run a tether for racing only, is to remove the 12 volt assembly and put the tether there with a bigger washer as a backer. That's what we did on an Apex used for grass drags.

I mount it into the center of the handlebar riser and run the wires inside the handlebar riser and down to the rubber boot under the dash panel following the stock wiring.
