on page 84 of the owner's manual it says to hold the bike level.
it also says that you can siphon out the excess oil using a syringe or something like that....
don't worry man. the only reason why i know that is because i did something similar. i read the diy. i had my bike up on rear stands. i put in about 1.7 quarts of oil in my bike and i couldn't figure out why it was still empty in the window. then i decided to read the manual again. duh... i took the bike off of the stand, held it level and sure enough, the oil filled the window a bit more than halfway.
at least now you know. and knowing is half the battle!
yo joe!
