It took a while but for anyone that is searching for a resolution to this, here is what i did.
As well as using the burping method... I propped the front of the bike up, i usually just use the kickstand, to attempt to fill up the space between the filter and pump with oil as on a level surface it seemed to be draining out. I filled the filter up once or twice doing this and when I fired it up it was good to go. Oil changes on this bike have never been this much of a pain since burping it usually is a very quick fix.
This may have been such a pain because since i was transitioning to synthetic i made sure every last drop of oil was out. Honestly I have no idea if propping the front up makes mechanical sense but it worked for me this time.
btw thanks for the post dubbs
