There are several options out there from covers that let you put them on a keychain to drilling holes in them. I have always used the OEM sheath and have no issues with it. A google search on "can am spyder key fob" returned a lot of results.

I keep the OEM sheath on a small keyring in my pocket. When off the bike, I slip it in the sheath and it's in my pocket. I've never worried about losing it.

A quick search/check of the Forum and you will find a lot of solutions. The drilling one is a bit tricky if you miss the spot. The sheath has worked well, and even though I thought it would wear out, it hasn't...

I use the original sheath that came with the Spyder with a neck ribbon. Works great. Normally I leave the key in the ignition. Not to worry. Who can figure out to start it anyway?

I truly don't understand why some people don't use the sheath that comes with the key. When I first saw the key in the sheath, I was a little puzzled for a few minutes, but then I thought, "What a brilliant idea"! Why drill a hole in the key when the sheath already has a hole? I have the sheath on a key ring with some other keys in my pocket. When I'm ready to ride, I just pull the key out of the sheath and put it in the ignition - with nothing hanging off of it. When I get off, I just slip the key back into it's protective sheath. I don't want anything attached to my key. The sheath protects my key when it is not in the ignition and keeps it handy and secure. You can use it on a key ring, a lanyard, or any other attachment that makes sense to you. I can't figure out why anyone wouldn't want to use it.
You bought a used Spyder, that explains the question. Spyder keys come in a form fitting sheath that is a little bigger than the working end of the key and has a key ring on it. The key hangs upside down. If you don't have it, the thing I would do is drill a hole in the key as described in #8 of this thread by Lamont. By the way, he has some great videos on his Lamonster Garage site.

Thanks everyone, I'm going to try the drilling option, I didn't think u could do it because of the chip
If you carefully note the positioning of the drilled hole; take an awl, and probe that area first.
You'll be able to push It right through the key, when you hit the "sweet spot"!
I drilled my keys, because I wanted to attach the key for the Lidlox right to them.
