He probably didn't put the plug back on the bike till after he put the oil in the bike and it ran right thru the bike. It would be interesting to see how much oil is in his catch container.

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.
