Before you get all tied up in your mind over over oiling a wee bit, crank your bike up and let it idle while looking at the oil window in the upright position.
Hey, lookie !! -- a good bit of your oil goes into circulation (oil pump, galleries, tranny shafts, head, coating gears etc) so your window oil level drops a good bit when the engine is actually running.
Shut it down with the kill switch and immediately look in the window for signs of foaming as the oil level rises back up in the window. Foam rises to the top of the oil mass, and would be visible at the window oil line if it was present.
Foam not there, then don't worry about it.
