Anytime you take the oil cap off be sure to wipe the seal and the inside of the filler area with a paper towel. It seals better if there's no oil on those places when you put it back in.

You changed the oil over a seep down the oil tank and used a different oil. That makes no sense to me. What are you going to do if this dino oil seeps down the oil tank? Change transmission fluid?

I usually wait a week to ten days for a through drain. I've heard if you use amsoil, it will repair any leaks by itself, check its own level, put air in the tires and keep your bike cleaned and waxed. Says so in their white paper.,,
