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....

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.

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

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?
