Husqvarna key quick facts
- Husqvarna owner's manuals say the key number is on the KEYCODECARD and is needed to order a spare key.
- The 2020 Svartpilen 401, 2022 Norden 901, 2023 701 Supermoto and 2024 Svartpilen 801 owner's manuals have no immobilizer section.
- The Husqvarna Svartpilen and Vitpilen 401 share their platform with the KTM 390 Duke.
- The Husqvarna Norden 901 shares its LC8c parallel-twin platform with the KTM 890 Adventure.
- Most Husqvarna competition and enduro models start with a button and have no ignition key; some street-legal FE S models have a keyed ignition and steering lock.
Modern Husqvarna street bikes are built on KTM platforms, and their keys follow suit. The Svartpilen and Vitpilen 401 share their engine and electronics with the KTM 390 Duke, the 801 models and the Norden 901 use KTM's LC8c parallel twin, and the 701s are based on KTM's 690 single. The owner's manuals for the Svartpilen 401, 701 Supermoto, Norden 901 and Svartpilen 801 all describe a conventional ignition key with a key number on a KEYCODECARD, and none of them has an immobilizer section.
That makes the key itself simple, but a dealer key order can still mean a wait, and with no key left the factory answer on the 401 platform is a whole new lock system. We come to you, make keys to the locks already on the bike, and handle ignition, seat and fuel cap locks.
Husqvarna key types by model and year
| Years | Models | Key type | Chip | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018-present | Svartpilen 401, Vitpilen 401 | conventional ignition key | no | The 2020 Svartpilen 401 manual has no immobilizer section. The 2024 and later 401s are a new generation, so give the exact year when ordering a key or lock parts. |
| 2016-present | 701 Supermoto, 701 Enduro | conventional ignition key | no | The 2023 701 Supermoto manual puts the ignition and steering lock in front of the seat and lists no immobilizer section. |
| 2022-present | Norden 901, Norden 901 Expedition | conventional ignition key | no | Shares its platform with KTM's 890 Adventure. The 2022 manual describes one key for the ignition and steering lock, fuel cap and seat lock. |
| 2024-present | Svartpilen 801, Vitpilen 801 | conventional ignition key | no | Same LC8c twin platform as KTM's 790 Duke. The 2024 US Svartpilen 801 manual describes an ignition key that also works the fuel cap and seat lock. Its fuse table names an immobilizer circuit, so we confirm the key from the bike and the VIN. |
| All years | FC, TC, TE, FE and other competition and enduro models | no ignition key | no | Most of these bikes start with a button and have no ignition key to replace. Street-legal FE S models sold in the US can be an exception: Husqvarna's 2015 manual lists a key number for an ignition and steering lock on the FE 350 S. |

Husqvarna immobilizer and chip keys
Husqvarna's road bike manuals describe no electronic immobilizer: the 2020 Svartpilen 401, 2022 Norden 901, 2023 701 Supermoto and 2024 Svartpilen 801 manuals cover the ignition and steering lock, the key number and the KEYCODECARD, with no transponder or immobilizer section. That matches the KTM models they are based on. It means a correctly cut key is what starts the bike and works the other locks.
Owner experiences with dealers vary, and model years and markets can differ, so check your own manual. Expect anyone making a key to ask for proof of ownership either way.
- KTM Immobilizer: Orange Key, Black Keys and Race OnKTM has used two immobilizer setups on its big twins: black transponder ignition keys managed by an orange programming key, and from 2017 the Race On keyless key on the 1290 Super Duke R and 1290 Super Adventure.
Lost all your Husqvarna keys?
All-keys-lost on a Svartpilen or Vitpilen is where the dealer route gets slow. KTM's manuals for the sister 390 Duke say that when no ignition key is left the entire lock system must be replaced, and the wait for a dealer-ordered key varies. A mobile visit avoids the trailer and the parts order: we make a key to the locks already on the bike and test the ignition, steering lock, seat and fuel cap before we leave.
Have photo ID, the title or registration and the VIN ready. Tell us the exact model and year, since a 2018 401 and a 2024 401 are different generations, and mention any aftermarket ignition relocation or tank-lock changes. If you have a damaged key or the KEYCODECARD from the paperwork, keep it for the visit.

Where to find your Husqvarna key code
Husqvarna's owner's manuals say the key number can be found on the KEYCODECARD, that you need it to order a spare key, and that the card should be kept in a safe place. Start with the owner's manual pouch and the original sales paperwork. If the card is missing, a locksmith can make the key from the lock or from an existing key.
Husqvarna dealer or mobile locksmith?
A Husqvarna dealer can order a genuine key by key number, which is a reasonable route if you still have a working key and the KEYCODECARD and can wait. With no key at all the wait is harder to live with, and a full lock set replacement costs far more than a key. A mobile locksmith works with the locks already on the bike, which in many cases avoids waiting on a parts order.

Husqvarna key FAQ
Is a Husqvarna key the same as a KTM key?
Many Husqvarna road bikes share platforms with KTM models, so the key systems are closely related. The key still has to be cut for your own locks; a key from another bike will not work yours.
How long does a Husqvarna dealer take to replace a lost key?
It varies, and owner experiences differ. If you still have a working key, getting a spare made early avoids that risk.
Does my Svartpilen or Vitpilen have a chip key?
The 2020 Svartpilen 401 owner's manual describes a conventional ignition key and has no immobilizer section. Check your own manual, since years and markets can differ.
Do Husqvarna dirt bikes have keys?
Most competition and enduro models such as the FC, TC, TE and FE ranges start with a button and have no ignition key. Some street-legal FE S models sold in the US have a keyed ignition and steering lock, so tell us if yours has a key switch. Otherwise key work applies to the road models: Svartpilen, Vitpilen, Norden and the 701s.
What do I need for a Husqvarna key replacement?
Photo ID, the title or registration in your name, and the VIN. Bring any remaining keys and the KEYCODECARD if you have one. Knowing the exact model year helps, because the 401 changed generations for 2024.
