If you have got HISS then yiou need much more than a barrell, you cant buy just that part because the key is part of hiss, think you need new HISS system as well, thats what they told me when I had a similar problem, cost ?800 or so

When I had a similar problem to yours I was told that because of the HISS system you couldn't just change the barrel and you needed new switch, key, harness and to be programmed to the bike. All this to stop theft and changing keys :dunno:
Cost me ?800 maybe I was ripped off so I will be investigating

When I got my Meta alarm it showed an option cutting the key blade and setting it into the alarm fob. I also said that you could take the chip out and fit it into a little space in the alarm fob too! :beer:
