ME: do any of your yamahas have a tether cord
JOEY: ummm , no we didn't but we rode lakes , ditches and fields
why?
ME: just curious
JOEY: NO! , i saw that thread WHY?
ME:LOL just wondering because skidoo is the only one that coems with them it seems. polaris cat and yamaha dont
JOEY: hmmmm weird lol but i mostly rode 2003 and down , although my dad had a nytro and it didn't
hes watching!
Oh yes he's watching.
I think all Cats have them factory wired, they just need tether clip plugged into the harness don't they? I know mine came wired for it. You just order the piece for your machine and then just plug it in.

Will have them on every sled I own.
Started using it on my last sled, 2007 Polaris RMK 600 Carb sled, and more than a few times I have had it upside down, on its side, you name it, and the sled did run for a time being before it died, long enough to do damage to me or someone else. Last year in Cooke I pilled it into a tree on purpose as it was going to fast and headed downhill towards another sled/rider (long story), was upside down WOT on top of me, not a safe situation at all, I know they run upside down long enough.
Tether didn't help as I was still with the sled and connected, but if it rolled back on its top it would have been gone again.
First thing that went on my new RMK was a tether, and if people want to ride my sled they also have to wear it. They don't like it they don't have to ride it.

always wear it! its saved me and my sled so many times! its a must on a turbo! if it takes off its gonners! and probably destroyed!
i learned the hard way to wear my tether, throttle stuck wide open on my old 01 rmk 800 and it hit a power pole at mach chicken, thats why i would wear it on a carbed sled.....its just common sense really, for any machine imo. stupid that skipoo are the only ones that have a tether setup from the factory.
