Default Oil Change Problem

I have a 98 cbr f3, i recently changed the oil,
(k&n filter, and around 4qts of oil) and with the bike on its kickstand it doesnt show any oil in the bike, even with the dipstick screwed all the way in. Now i have read more than one thing on this bike, 1, dont screw the dipstick in to check oil, 2 screw it in, 3, measure while its on the kickstand, 4, measure it sitting up. I have no idea what to go by anymore... First bike... Thanks.

Measure it with the bike level.

Thanks a lot guys, fluid level is perfect. now i just gotta figure out where the occasional drips of oil are coming from.... i think they probably are still dripping off from the oil change...
