Too much oil?
What are the symptoms or problems of putting too much oil in your bike? I just put 3 quarts (unknowingly) and I just now read that my bike only need 2.4 L (.988 Qt = 1 Liter) I haven't ridden with all the oil in there yet, but will it hurt it, or should i try and drain some out?

Drain it out, fill it right.
Typical problems will be blowing out oil, more serious problems could include blowing out gaskets and causing leaks.

Either drain it out and put back just what you need, or (depending on your oil fill opening) use a bulb-type baster and pull out half a liter.
