Can some one tell me whats wrong I put a kill switch on my 2003 Rx1 Warrior and it works backwards. Sled stops with tether on and runs when it is off. Just the oppisite of what I need. Do I need a open or a closed switch? Hooked it up to the wires frm the kill switch on the handle bars. Brown and brown/white Thanks

Do a test with a multimeter to determine if you have a closed or open switch. If my memory serves me you should have a open switch that closes when the cord plug is pulled, but I've been known to make mistakes from time to time :-I)
Looking at the wiring diagram from the 2003 RX-1 Service Manual, it appears that the two wires (Brown and Brown with White) need to be connected to run which I believe means you need a Normally Open switch. Depending on the switch, it may be Normally Closed too. A Normally Closed switch leaves the wires connected until actuated, now is a tether switch "actuated" with the plug in or removed? I think the switch is activated when the plug is in which means it is not connected when the tether is removed or Normally Open. Yours is probably Normally Closed. Here is a picture I made from the service manual:
