Do you not have a dipstick to check????

If you have an EX then all u need to do is put in 2 bottles, unless u have an aftermarket tank....

Im guessing that the dipstick had little or no oil on it after you rode it, but was at the proper lever immediately after you changed it??

If thats the case, then you have to remember that the oil will flow of course out of the tank and into the engine where some of it will sit, thus making your oil level low of course. If this is the case, then just top it off AFTER riding it, and you will be fine.

If thats not it, then give us some more info and we'll help you out. Dont mind the useless comments, I am sure you know how to read a dipstick.
