Unfortunatly no, but the aftermarket does have quite a bit available to solve the issue.

Spyderpops sell some products for reducing the heat on the right foot. http://spyderpops.com/gs-rs-rss/new-category-8/
Also check the exhaust y-pipe gasket on the right side. When it starts to go bad that will give you a hot right foot. Can be replaced with Honda gaskets to last longer.

Have to agree...
I have a 2012 RS with the spyderpops air management systems and have no issue with the heat at the right foot....

And it doesn't take a man long to learn that piece of wisdom after marriage.

Thank you for asking this question. I also noticed this as an issue on my 2009 spyder. I'm on this like white on RICE.
Also
Do I need both GS/RS Missing Air damn and Air management system or what?
-
I would get both. I use both on my 08 GS. I no longer get a hot right leg. Sometimes my foot does get hot when I use my highway pegs, but not very hot. They are both well work the investment.

I don't know how many of you ride in the colder weather, but there have been many times I was thankful for the heat.

Spyderpops air management system and new Y-gasket solved our heat problems.
Note, it's still pretty warm if you ride with shorts and sneakers, but with long pants and proper riding boots it's a non-issue.

Wait this was only an issue for me when i was riding in slippers . Don't judge don't judge.
If I ride with proper boots / jeans I have no issue what so ever.
So i guess I shouldn't need the air management just common sense then

Imagine what your calf would look like after a crash without proper protection.

But he's absobloodylutely right in what he says in his post above!!
Aaand he's probably not too concerned about any heat issues on his Spyder either, so he's probably got more respect & credibility from people on that basis!
I've noticed that it's pretty easy to rack up friends on a Forum, just about any fool can do it if that's what they are trying to do!! But it's a whole lot harder to generate respect and credibility!!

Replaced the gaskets with the Honda ones and wrapped the pipes under the tupperware with a ceramic blanket.
cool and quieter.

I had a 2012 RS and nothing worked to reduce the heat including the Spyder Pops products. I was about to purchase the 2013 or 2014 RS body panels for the RS that had a different design as a last ditch effort but I took a demo ride on the F3 and the rest is history.
