I was riding my 750 Guzzi today and it started to make a squeaking noise. I rode it home and checked oil levels. There was no oil in the transmission! I had changed the fluids a few months ago and must have forgotten to fill the transmission. I had drained out the Red Line Shockproof heavy that had been in the bike for 50,000 miles. It went about 1500 miles before the noise started. There must have been just enough oil clinging to the gears to keep it alive.
Now I have to hope no permanent damage was done.
