HELP! xt660x touring

Hello, I recently bought an xtx and the crank bearings started spinning in the case (apparently a common problem) and mine appears to have been very mistreated, luckily i work in a bike garage so it's been rebuilt with new chain and sprocket new tyres, new cush drive rubbers and new fork seals, It was built in the last week, I've done 300 miles and i'm going to change the filter tomorrow as i go the day after to spain, france and italy (total of around 3000 miles)
I've been checking the oil when the bike is warm and I can't seem to get two readings the same, sometimes it's half full sometimes it full, any reason why?
also any maintenance tips or advice on modifications to stop me having to do a rebuild again would be appreciated.
