Default 2011 XL883L 5000mi Oil Change?

Guys, I'm new to the forum.

I am doing my 5000mi service and currently changing the oil. I ran the bike for a minute then pulled the drain plug. I can only get a little more than a quart out of it. I even pulled the plug wires and cranked it over a couple times but no more is coming out.

What am I doing wrong? Was it just low to begin with?

The engine oil drain plug is the plastic stopper in the end of the rubber hose. If you unscrewed a plug then that was the primary
