Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How does the tether switch work? A: The cap holds a closed circuit while the lanyard is attached to the rider, and when the rider falls off the cord pulls free and the switch opens to kill the engine. This cuts ignition without needing the key or kill button.

Q: Do I need to match the tether cord to this switch? A: Use a lanyard designed for the same style of tether switch and cap so the cap seats firmly and releases cleanly. A loose or mismatched cord can cause intermittent cutoff or prevent the cap from staying engaged.

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