The dip stick is located on top of the oil tank. The drain line is at the bottom of the rear down tubes and looks like it goes into the frame. I run Mobile 1 20w50 V-twin full synthetic all the time.

Maybe it wasn't flushed and there was still some old oil in it.
Do these things have a level indication?
If the level is right, start the bike and run it for a minute or so, watch the oil light. Then stop it, leave it a few mions to let the oil settle in the sump and check it again.
What I mean by flushing out, have a look at how it's done on a different type of bike -

No, but the Royal Purple Max Cycle 20W50 will if they offer that. All Sportsters and Big Twin Harley's use 20W50 oil.
Good Luck
