Where is the VIN on the frame? Can Am Spyder ST Limited 2013

[Oblak]

Hello, as a new owner of Can Am Spyder ST Limited 2013 I have problem with registration, because I do not know, where on the frame vehicle identification number is located, so engraved in metal on the frame (not a sticker) and I would be very grateful if somebody helped me and tell me the exact location of it or maybe send a photo of it. Thank you.

On the left side, look on the side of the swingarm. You might have to get on your knees and look up under. Have a flashlight, too. It'll be a sticker.

Look at pg 142 in your operator's guide; it's stamped on the lower left side of the frame inboard of the LF wheel. Although mine is on the other side it was not easy to find as the VIN is stamped on the frame and then the frame is painted. You may have to do some cleaning to find it. Pictures below, both of which are upside down from original camera orientation.

I too am unable to locate the stamped VIN number of my 2015 RT. Ive looked under the entire swing arm structure both sides, nothing. Any further clues or if someone has a picture of where theirs is?

On the right side of the vehicle look at where the forward upper A-arm of the suspension is bolted to the frame then lower your gaze and you will see a flat portion of a vertical frame member. The VIN should be stamped on that part of the frame and is facing directly at the RF wheel. It is on mine anyway, but is very hard to get a good camera angle to shoot a pic. Pics at post #3 too.

Yep, I just checked Peggy's 2013 STS-SM5 and it's really easy to spot. The frame piece is flat and you can't miss it.

Registering my wife’s 2013 ST in CA from WA State. DMV insists on seeing the etched numbers and not the swingarm sticker. Spent time on this forum and You Tube and after an hour or two of removing Tupperware I found both. The etched engine number is accessible by removing the panel above the footpegs on the RIDERS LEFT you will need a flex mirror, a flashlight and your camera. It’s on the back of the block, very obvious once the mirror picks it up. The etched VIN is on the RIDERS RIGHT ( our owners manual shows it on riders left) Turn the wheels to the right and from the front look right at the frame and on a vertical rise is a tag that is part of the frame. It’s very obvious once you lock in on it. Hope this helps.
