While running !! I doubt that is correct. The engine should be off and the bike held vertically to check the oil level. The easiest and safest is to sit on the bike and use a little mirror on a telescopic stick( auto parts stores have them)after it has been shut off for 3 minutes. You can do major damage internally with too much oil. With luck you haven't blown oil up into the air filter and soaked it.
The later 800cc engines must have a greater capacity, that is why I questioned the amount you put in. Lynda's 800cc V-twin Suzuki holds 3600 milliliters of oil with a filter.
