With a system capacity of 1 quart, I would say add a quart, note where it is in the sight glass and find a way to mark that spot. Run the engine to circulate the oil, let it sit. Then, if you want your dip stick to be accurate, take it out, note where the oil stops on said dip stick, and make a mark on it with a knife or hack saw blade so you know that's what full is.
Also, bear in mind that some manufacturers will mark the dipstick to read accurately when the bike is on the side stand. So with the dip stick on the high side of the engine when on the side stand, the oil level on that side will read lower than it would if the bike were level. It may seem silly to do it this way, but bear in mind they may consider it easier for the rider to check their oil out on the road without having to try and hold the bike level, take out a dip stick, wipe it off, insert, and remove again to get an accurate reading.
Seems superfluous given it has a sight glass, but handy...if a bit obtuse.
