Maybe the nice Tupperware that encloses the engine to make it look cool is the problem? Here is a profound thought for the BRP over paid engineers, remove the plastic crap and let the heat out.

Put the 2013 air scoop kit on and it will eliminate "almost" all of that heat.It makes a big difference. I wish that I had recorded the glove box temp's before and after. Functional and good looks too. Randy

There have been VERY few reports of the 1330 RTs shoving heat back onto the rider. Something must not be in it's proper place.

My BeadRider seat also works well in heavy rain. Keeping me from sitting in a puddle which will eventually soak through any rain gear.

I used a BeadRider seat on my Honda ST. Worked well. I've yet to try it on my RT-S.

The heat seems to be coming up through the bottom of the seat>

Bead Rider
I had one on my HD and transferred it to the Spyder. No heat problems, comfortable and like the previous post said it's great for keeping you from sitting in water in the rain. They come 2 ways, wood and ceramic. Ceramic is better than wood all around.

I think what I will do is this, I will keep the idea of the air scoops in mind, it seems that it would get rid of my heat problem, problem is its a modification to the bike itself. After reading a bunch of articles, I am going to try the ceramic bead covers from BeadRider. Who knows, I might just want that heat in the fall or early spring time! If the beads don't do it for me then will do the air scoop upgrade.
Beadrider site suggests the 14" x 14" for the driver and 10" x 12" for the passanger. Are these good sizes for the RT regular seat?
Do any of the sponsors of this board sell the Beadrider products?
Thanks everyone for your inputs!!!!!

Just finished reading a previous thread where Doc Riverside installed the air scoop kit from BRP on his 2014 RT, they looked good and it sounds like it would take care of the problem I am having. It would be cool if someone came out with a kit that is a direct replacement over the grill and bolted down where the wind deflector mounts. Would that work? A scoop that has a hole at the side that covers the grill maybe with a foam gasket. Put it in place then use the wind deflector mounting bolts then snap a front screen.
OPS hehehe I guess there is more on the inside to this then I thought.

I know Doc Riverside, and have to agree with this. I have a 2015 RT Limited, and was told about the vent kit, best farkle I've done to my Spyder, and cheapest at $65.00. Part of the kit is removing a large piece under the body work that allows the air being sucked in by the side vents to carry the hot air back and down way from the glove box and seat, giving a more comfortable ride. Get hold of Doc Riverside, or search for the side vent kit, and make up your own mind. His post is pretty complete with where to get the kit, and how to install it.

What are you wearing for pants? 
ALL motorcycles create a certain amount of heat. It's normal, and should be expected.
