Question Tranny heat

I just got back from a very nice evening ride and was waiting a while to cover the bike (I don't have a garage). It has been sitting out back for about an hour and a half, long enough for the exhausts to cool down, but I noticed that the transmission cover ( I think, the round cover at bottom left side of the motor near the shifter) is still very hot to the touch. Anyone know if it is normal for the tranny to get this hot and stay hot for this long? Maybe I am shifting too much or something. TIA for any input.
