Speaking of a cool bevel box.... On gold wings (my experience is with the 4 cylinder ones) there is a rear end that is basically a bevel box (we call it a pumpkin). It only holds a small amount of oil. And yes they get quite warm going 70 mph in 90-100f degree weather. No one worries about them over heating which is a concern I hear again and again on this forum. I cannot imagine the M3W bevel box runs hotter than a gold wing pumpkin. So I am not sure why there is such a concern about the bevel box. I am not trying to be cheeky, but it is something on my Gl1000 I do not worry about, so I am not sure why I should on the M3W?
