  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

key switch for 2012 449/511

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

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.
 
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 :)

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.
