key switch for 2012 449/511

My 2012 TE310 came with a keyed ignition switch already installed. The part number is 8000 H2090.

Fork lock comes with the ignition, you can install it yourself

So has anyone installed this lock cylinder on a 2012 TE449/511 themselves? I would love to do it, but none of the wires match up to what anyone is talking about here, and they did not do it themselves. If anyone has done it themselves, a first hand experience explanation of how to wire it up would be greatly appreciated.

Just figure out which two wires come from your kill switch and wire them to the key ignition.

I have learned to live without an ignition switch. It is just a false sense of security anyway.

As far as I can tell on mine, the key operates a relay back under the seat that isolates the battery when the key is turned off.

My install was done by Malcolm Smith Motorsports and the technicians name was Wayne Martin. I talked to Wayne the other day and he told me that he could and has wired a new key-less Husqvarna for a fully wired in ignition, but that the looped error signal still returns a fail message on the front odometer. He suggests that you do not fully wire in like on past models and use the ignition switch as a starter kill and ignition shunt.

Installed a key switch on my 511 yesterday from sicass racing. It comes pre-wired so it is plug and play. Install took about 10 minutes and went right into the stock location. Here is a link to the product. It is cheaper than the part from Husky and there is no splicing involved.

Any one know if the '13 is switch capable also?

+1 sicass switch. Easy instal. Drop fender, 4 bolts, loosen 1 boltmon dash, plugmit in, done.

Would this work on the 2013 TE 449?

It might, I know Husky changed the handlebar switches in MY13, but I doubt the changed the plugs.

I know the 20011 and 2012 harnesses are different from each other, but I believe the 2012 and 2013 are the same. Don't quote me on it though

Has anyone put a keyed switch on a 07 wr 250.

Took 5 minutes to install on a 2012 TE449

I loosened two 8mm bolts so the headlight and front plastic pop up and away from the front fender (did not remove completely) to gain access to the harness. Unplug harness coming from kill switch.
Plug in the sicassracing key switch.
Used the provided mount and slipped it under one of the handlebar clamp bolts so the key sits right in the center between the tac and the handlebars. (Will probably move this to the stock location soon but i didn't have a drill with me to bore out stock mount to accept the sicassracing switch which is bigger in diameter)

Note this is only a keyed kill switch. If someone knew what they were doing they could dig into the wiring reconnect the existing wiring. Also this doesn't come with a steering lock.
