Has anyone experienced extreme heat on your right leg from engine heat. I've tried several fixes and contacted BRP. There response was "it's just a comfort issue". I live in the South and when the temp goes above 80, you have to ride sticking your right leg out to get away from engine heat. Any ideas?

I have installed highway pegs which puts your feet up and out from the driver pegs. More comfortable and less heat

See Tips and Tricks Seems to have fixed the hot right foot issue simply , quickly and cheaply
I used a bit of thin flexible plastic to close the 30mm or so gap between the "scoop" on the fan air outlet and the body of the Spyder. The hot air still comes out of the side but seems to miss my foot entirely now. Much better I have found and very simple to do.
