Hi folks. After retiring in February I decided I wanted to ride my own scoot. I have been a passenger for over 30 years. I took the NJ Riders course for trikes and learned on a brand new Ca Am. Sooo therefore I looked for a Can Am I could afford. After searching we found a one owner 2014 Can Am Spyder STS SE5 with a few add ons. It has Can Am hard bags and heated grips and an Ultimate seat with back rests. Meticulously maintained. I am a happy camper! Looking forward to being on the road. I have no manual and only one key so I will be asking questions as they come up.

No it was not from her. Got it from a dealership. This lady bought it from the dealer and then traded it in for another bike. Bought it in Hanover PA at Motosports. It had just been serviced too.

Yes, welcome! The 2 points above cannot be stressed enough. Save yourself much trouble and embarrassment; read the Owners Manual 3 or 4 times and bookmark & study the "Do's and Don'ts" thread the same number of times. Your life with a Spyder will be much more enjoyable .

Love your avatar! I did not have a manual since it is a used bike (2014) I would like to know at what RPM I should be shifting? Rode it first time today on back roads. I was shifting around 3200 rpm. Trying to get the manual and my second key from the previous owner through the dealer that sold it to me.
My first ride today was amazing!

The ST is a two cylinder. Your shift points and engine operation should be around 5500 rpm. The rotax likes HIGH revs. Your redline is around 9,500. Don't use all the gears unless you are riding at 60 mph or higher. I drove 50 miles of Hana Hwy on Maui HI all in first gear. Speed limits 25 or less.
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles
IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.
