A#58:While some people run both wires of a tether kill switch to the coil, and this does work, it may cause damage to the CDI. The best way to wire a tether (or pushbutton) kill switch is to use the handlebar kill switch circuit. When the black/white wire on the handlebar kill switch is grounded, the CDI kills the motor. All you need to do is ground one of the tether wires to the frame (or splice it to the black wire for the handlebar kill switch), and splice (see Q#59) the other wire onto the black/white wire somewhere. If you bought it new, the tether switch should have instructions indicating which wire should be grounded and which one grounds when the tether is pulled (if you’re not sure which is which, temporarily splice the wires one way but don’t cut them until you know it works). I prefer a solid ground to the frame just in case, so I like to use a nylon solderless eyelet terminal on the ground wire (you’ll need a wire stripper and a pair of crimpers along with the terminal, bu
