Title: Tether question on z400? Post by: MotoMike on March 07, 2005, 06:26:55 PM I have this gunner tether and I am trying to install it on my 03 Z400. Has anyone done this and can you help. I can't find where it connects in at.

Mike Title: Re: Tether question on z400? Post by: Chuck_Norris on March 07, 2005, 06:40:12 PM These are the directions i used and have had no problems at all for the last four months i had the bike. Can be a little hard to get in there with the plastic on but it can be done just take your time and use some needle noise pliers.
It is not necessary to remove any plastic or do any major wire moving. Squatting on the right side of the bike (brake pedal side) look just behind the radiator. There you will see the coil. It's a small black cylinder. The coil is connected by 2 (two) wires. One is black and is the "pulse wire" and the other wire is black and white. The black wire connecting to the coil will be the closest to you if you are squatting on the right side of the bike and looking toward the bike. The black wire is connected to the coil with a spade connector which pulls from the coil very easily. Use a needle nose pliers to get to it. You have to unhook it so you can work with it. To get to it you have to push gently away some other wires, etc. in the general vicinity. Now, using a small saddle type wire connector you take the long wire from the Pro Design Kill Switch and using the saddle type wire connector or similar connector, connect the Pro Design "long wire" to the black pulse wire. Now, the other wire coming from your Pro Design Kill switch (the short one) goes to any available frame bolt on the bike and is your ground wire. Remember to hook the black wire with the spade connector back up to the coil after you have connected/spliced in the long Pro Design wire. That's it to the install on the KFX400 or Z400. Just for the record you are connecting to a wire going to the coil and not actually connecting to the coil. Title: Re: Tether question on z400? Post by: dynodon on March 07, 2005, 06:41:46 PM I hate to say it but I had to cut the wire harness on my DS650 at the key shut off to make mine work, make sure you dont have one for a two stroke or youll never get it to work, GOOD LUCK!!

i know a few people om this site have had problems with running the gunners on the Z's It may work never tried myself,just went with the pro-design because its made for the electric start motors Title: Re: Tether question on z400? Post by: Chuck_Norris on March 07, 2005, 06:50:19 PM pro design.
Title: Re: Tether question on z400? Post by: MotoMike on March 07, 2005, 06:52:09 PM Okay great! I see that piece, but do I have to change the connector on the tether? I am not sure what a saddle is but I see the black connector, do I just pick up a connector from HD and change it?
TIA, Mike Title: Re: Tether question on z400? Post by: MotoMike on March 07, 2005, 06:53:09 PM Quote pro design. Pro-design, but I said I had a gunner... Mike Title: Re: Tether question on z400?
