Twinshock, air-cooled monoshock or water-cooled monoshock TY250?

its an air cooled mono-shock, unsure of the year tho.

Go on Ebay or to your local bike shop and buy a universal kill switch (usually handlebar mounted).

There should be a single wire coming out of the main engine housing going to the coil. Connect one of the wires from the switch you bought - either strip a section of this wire ,or connect to the post on the coil that it connects to. Then seal it up real good - tape/shrink tube/then rtv. Run the other wire from the switch to a bolt going to the frame.

What you are doing is grounding the wire from the engine to the coil to kill the engine.

Make sure you cable tie the wire in several places so you don't snag it when riding. Also make sure you leave enough free wire so that the handle bars can make a full turn in either direction without pulling the wire.

Most of the 'universal' ones for sale are copies of the original Yamaha ones so will look pretty authentic.

Have a look at this one - universal kill switch on Ebay
