Installation on tether switch for RX1

[RX1 ton]

Has anyone installed a tether switch on their RX1. If so how did you wire it and were. I have an open switch tether and cannot get it to work. Any help.....

Run it to the kill switch on the handle bar. There should be a Brown wire (power) and a Brown/White (ground) wire. I believe you can just tap the power wire before it goes to the switch. I have not installed one...

I have asked this question before and here is the answer that I got:

have installed one on my Apex. It is a lot easier than you might think. You must buy the correct one. It is the "normally closed" tether that you need. You can get it from Ulmer or from any Parts Unlimited dealer. Just have them look up the switch that is "Normally Closed". Most ATV and sled dealers will have one in stock.

You basically splice it into one of the wires that comes out of your kill switch. I think I spliced mine into one of the brown wires. I started the sled, pulled the tether, and it killed the engine....done.

It'll take you less than and hour to do it right. Maybe 20 minutes if your good....no big deal.

if you use an open switch tether you gotta pull the tether to start the sled. don,t ask me how i know.

Well after finding that the tether cord I bought was the wrong one, I needed a closed switch when the open switch killed the engine when the tether was plugged in. Also found that the OEM kill switch has to be in the off position for it to work. This why i was having a problem. I ordered a closed switch. Thanks for the info guys...

Yeah the only way to make the open switch work will cause a ground between the power side of the kill switch and the frame and you have to fry a ignition fuse every time you get thrown off or forget to unplug and step away. Its a real bother.
