I'm afraid NomadBilly got a little too close to the oil fill hole and now is reunited with his 5 quarts.

Well gents thanks for the suggestions and help.I have officially entered myself into the dumbass of the month contest and possibly the year.After tearing into the bike with determination, missing a very good ride ,spending a relatively small amount of money on parts and gaskets I found the missing oil.While contemplating pulling the trans looking for a possible crack in the transfer tubes running through the trans a friend suggested closing my eyes and repeating all my steps.We then repeated them,conclusion,I pulled the wrong plug and drained my oil,what I read on the stick had hung there overnight and when I started it the pump sucked in that 1/3 of a qt I added allowing the light to go out momentarily,it came on when I walked away.
Changing the transfer hoses was maybe needed,maybe not,finding one tensioner going bad was also ok but nothing I found would have stopped the ride, my hard head was at fault.
Thanks again and remember,assume nothing as this leading contender for DA of the month has proven.
