Husqvarna 701 Supermoto and 701 Enduro Key Replacement

Quick answerThe Husqvarna 701 Supermoto and 701 Enduro use a conventional ignition key. The 2023 701 Supermoto owner's manual lists a key number on the KEYCODECARD and has no immobilizer section, the same as the KTM 690 it is based on. With no keys left, a key can be made to the ignition and fuel cap locks on the bike, with nothing to program.

Husqvarna 701 Supermoto and 701 Enduro key quick facts

The 2023 701 Supermoto owner's manual says the key number can be found on the KEYCODECARD and is needed to order a spare key.
The manual has no immobilizer section; the KTM 690 Enduro R manual for the same platform has none either.
The ignition and steering lock is located in front of the seat, not up at the triple clamp.
The fuel tank filler cap is removed with the ignition key: a cover lifts, and the key turns 90 degrees.
The seat is released by a loop rather than a key lock.

A plain key on a KTM 690 platform

The 701s are built on KTM's 690 single, and the key setup follows it. The 2023 701 Supermoto manual has a key number entry under serial numbers, which says the 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. Its controls chapter covers the ignition and steering lock and the indicator lights, and there is no immobilizer section and no key programming procedure. KTM's 2020 690 Enduro R manual, the sister bike to the 701 Enduro, reads the same way.

So a 701 key is a cutting job. Nothing has to be paired to the bike.

Where the locks are

The layout is unusual if you are used to street bikes, and it helps to know it before you call.

Ignition and steering lock: located in front of the seat, according to the 2023 Supermoto manual.
Fuel tank filler cap: lift the cover, insert the ignition key and turn it 90 degrees counterclockwise to take the cap off; it goes back on with a 90 degree clockwise turn. The cap carries the fuel tank breather.
Seat: released by a loop, so there is no separate seat lock cylinder to rekey or replace.

Lost keys and worn keys

With only two key-operated locks, a 701 with no keys is one of the more straightforward jobs on a modern bike. We confirm ownership with photo ID and the registration or title, make a key to the existing locks, and test it in the ignition, the steering lock and the fuel cap. If you have the KEYCODECARD, bring it.

The fuel cap is the lock the key gets twisted in most. If the key has to be jiggled to get the cap off, deal with it before a long trip rather than after the key bends or snaps. A worn key can be replaced with a freshly cut one, and a cap lock that still binds can be repaired or replaced.

Dealer or locksmith

A Husqvarna dealer can order a key by key number, which is fine when you have a working key and time. How long a dealer key order takes varies, so if the bike is stuck, having a key made at the bike is usually the faster route.

Where to find the key code

The 2023 701 Supermoto manual says the key number can be found on the KEYCODECARD. Check the owner's manual pouch and the original sales paperwork.

Husqvarna 701 Supermoto and 701 Enduro key FAQ

Does the Husqvarna 701 have a chip key?

The 2023 701 Supermoto owner's manual has no immobilizer section and describes a conventional ignition key. Check your own manual for other years and for the 701 Enduro.

Where is the ignition on a 701 Supermoto?

The manual places the ignition and steering lock in front of the seat.

Does the seat use the key?

No. The 2023 701 Supermoto manual shows the seat released by a loop, so the key is only needed for the ignition and steering lock and the fuel cap.

Can you make a 701 key without the KEYCODECARD?

Yes. The card helps a dealer order by key number, but a key can also be made from the locks on the bike.

The immobilizer system on this bike

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.
