I tried this on all three of my R65's, if you don't have the correct key, you cannot move the ignition switch to the 'PARK' position .

This may work on European bikes, but not on North American version bikes  

Doesn't work on mine either.

If the wires are on the correct terminals on the switch, the switch may be faulty .

Could you post what color wires you have on which switch terminals ?

Just to confirm it .

Actually, when the bike is on "park" you can shut it off with any key that can enter the switch not the other way round. IMHO it is a mandatory safety feature in Germany.
Of course, they could put a different switch in North American market.
