There is an inspection window that may be covered up if you have a belly pan fitted. With the bike standing upright, fill to the upper line on the window the run the engine for a minute. Stop and allow to settle for 5 mins then top up again to the upper line or just below. Double check that you have tightened the drain plug!
If you've over-cooked it, just lean it over more.

If you fill to near the upper mark in the oil level viewing window & change the filter you'll get a touch over 4 litres in, but the official figure according to Honda IIRC is 3.97 litres.
