There is a chance that the extreme pressure additives in gear oil may affect the wet clutch, but it is a case of 'suck it and see' - as Craig380 says, you need to get the oil out but the small amount left in filter may not have a bad effect. If you just ran the engine and did not activate the clutch this will have kept the oil from getting between friction surfaces that will be a positive.

I use the maximum (2%) Molyslip or LiqiMoly recommended for wet clutch in my AL7 and have never had a problem.

Does your SV1000 regularly use oil and need topping up ?
