When you did the 600-mi service, how much oil did you put in the gearbox? The 5-sp box requires 1000 mL whereas the 6-sp requires only 500 mL. Someone who is accustomed to servicing the 5-sp could have made a mistake.

I had the service done by the dealer so I don't know how much oil was added. If it leaks again I will politely suggest that perhaps it was over filled. So far my experience is that service mechanics have no interest in customer's thoughts or suggestions and I can't say that I blame them because I am sure they know a lot more than I do. I don't normally rev the engine much over 5,500 rpm or 6,000 max so it may not happen again (hopefully).
No, it won't of damaged anything.Do they not have anybody in the workshop who can read?
Do't assume they know more, and even if they did they may not always be as careful as they should.Recent service on wife's (non Guzzi) bike with new tires, brake fluid change , had air in the front brake (we bled it) and 10 PSI below spec on rear tire.
This is similar to a comment I made a while ago that highly offended Mr. Roper, who thought it was directed at him.I'll stand by my original comment, which was that mechanics tend to be better at wrenching than reading. No offense intended!
I don't understand why they do not have a level plug to make things easier on the 6 speed box. Steve.
Do'nt assume they know more, and even if they did they may not always be as careful as they should.
Seems to me that a "mechanic" who doesn't know how much oil to add to a critically expensive mechanical component is hardly a good mechanic. This also makes me fear what happens when it finally sinks in that the newer bikes take 500 cc of gear oil. Are we going to see a rash of earlier model Stones with severely underfilled transmissions?
Proving once again you are a vacuous idiot. Well done.
Ignorant of history as well! What a surprise!
