Well if you have one of the originals, you can take and get a copy made which is what I did..Also there is a code on the originals if you wanna get another from Polaris..Also copy down the code somewhere in case you lose both originals....If all you have is the 2 originals and they both get lost you have to replace the ignition switch...You can also get those rubber boots for the keys at the stealership...

Helpfull hint for you guys........(If you want it...LOL)
I carry I spare key for both my 450 Sp under the Shift lever handle....

Just pop the Park/rev/high/low.cover off with a flat head driver and place the second key from the dealer in there and snap the plastic cover back on!!!

You will "ALWAYS" have a key with you on the trail or trip you take.......
......Caper.........

How much are those rubber coatings for the keys?

Mine slides through a bit when removed from the Quad also(damaged).

Unless things have changed in the last 2 and a half years since I worked at a dealership, the code will only get you the proper blank for your switch. Not a precut key for your switch.
I was told however from a locksmith in our town that he could cut a key(he has all the blanks on the wall) with nothing more than the code. Which Polaris said couldn't be done. i would recommend making a copy and put it somewhere safe. Cool that you found it to. Awesome luck!!!
