Good To Know

Q: How does a tether switch shut off the engine? A: The cap holds the internal contacts closed while attached to the rider; pulling free opens the circuit and kills ignition. Mounting and wiring must match the factory connector on your sled.

Q: Do I need to rewire anything to fit this tether switch and cap? A: It is built to connect at the stock tether plug on the Switchback 800 XCR harness. Confirm the connector style and pin count on your machine 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.
