You may be looking at a window full of oil. On my first change I put in the recommended 4 liters. When I checked, I couldn't see any oil. As it turns out, 4 liters will take the level to the very top of the window. The oil is so clean that you can't tell you're looking at oil in the window. I tilted the bike to the left and then I clearly saw the oil level drop in the window.
Another thing you could do is start the bike, let it run for a few seconds, shut it off, then watch the window. You should see the line of oil rise in the window as oil migrates down from the top of the engine into the crankcase.
