Sounds like it was last filled while on the side stand, rather than on the center stand. Doing it that way requires adding only the specified amount and then checking...on the center. HOWEVER.....I could be wrong on this, but...::
Since the clutch is totally separated from the internals of the transmission, overfilling causing a slip only makes sense to me if fluid was forced out the clutch rod seal and onto the clutch.... If the clutch was contaminated by transmission/gear oil, I would expect the slipping to reappear when you least want it to. Too much fluid inside the transmission case would, I would think, be forced out a vent tube if one existed, or as noted, down the rod. There is no mechanism I am aware of which would cause slipping inside the transmission due to an overfill. So, good luck, I hope whatever you have done has taken care of the issue and that the clutch was not contaminated....
