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.

3 US quarts = 2.838221381267739 Liters
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.
