We investigate the dynamic response of population transfer between two components of a finite temperature spinor Bose condensed gas to a time-dependent coupling potential. Comparison between results obtained in the Bogoliubov-Popov approximation (BPA) and in the generalized random phase approximation (GRPA) shows noticeable discrepancies. In particular, the inter-component current response function calculated in the GRPA displays a gapped spectrum due to the exchange interaction energy whereas the corresponding density response function is gapless. We argue that the GRPA is superior since, contrary to the BPA, it preserves the SU(2) symmetry and the f-sum rule associated to the spinor gas. In order to validate the approximation, we propose an experimental setup that allows the observation of the predicted gap.
