Zirconxi personally i blame the oil cooler for this situation, not my reading glasses
Can't help thinking the oil cooler is not completely filled with oil after draining the sump and replacing the old oil, the air inside the cooler has to come down one of those shiny pipes and that may take some time before all the air is expelled from the top of the cooler, so a short ride with some oil circulation may be required to "burp" the cooler and maintain the oil contents in there.
After all has settled down it will just show the same level in the sight glass for ever and good of you to take measurements of how much oil was replaced!.
Have done this myself too, when i first got the bike i removed some oil to reach the top level indicator and some time later had to refill again to maintain the top mark, just one of those things you get familiar with over time i guess....
