May be that one of Ken is screwing the dipstick in further than you(should
be one turn)..

I run Castrol 20/50 & measure in 2.5 quarts, which puts the oil level
about
 half way between the low & high mark on the dip stick. Guzzi's don't like
running with the oil level up near the high mark, in my experience any oil
above the half way mark just gets blown out the crank case breather.
