Wrong plug?
 \\;
Did the plug you pulled out have an allen wrench AND 6 point head. \\; If not you pulled the wrong plug.
 \\;
Follow the line straight down from the oil tank and you should find another plug.....hopefully

The oil drain plug is located on the right side of your bike (here is a 'not so great' picture I just took from the User Manual.
 \\;
If you removed the drain plug from the center of the bike (between the 2 shocks), that is for the transmission fluid.

Pulling the tank (along with all the oil line fittings) is a PITA....
 \\;
If you have any mechanic friends (gas station, repair shop, etc.) check with them and see if you can borrow some long needle nose type pliers to fish out the tube.
 \\;
I don't know exactly what they are called, but they have a long, slim type of plier that would reach into the tank and should work.
