Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: What does a tether switch do on a snowmobile? A: It grounds the ignition circuit and shuts the engine off when the cord detaches from the rider. This keeps a runaway machine from continuing under power after a fall.

Q: Will this fit every year listed for the IQ Shift 600? A: The listing covers 2009 through 2012 IQ Shift 600 models, but Polaris changed harness details across build dates. Check your serial number and connector style before ordering.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
