I think i added to much oil....

Today i checked the level of my oil.. A little over 1000Miles...
It was almost to Low.. So i added a whole Litre and now it's sitting above the F mark on the stick..
Is this TOO MUCH oil or can i leave it? I have no tools to drain the oil or anything...
Should i be alright?

How much higher???
If it's like 1" higher, then I'd be worried.
If it's within 1/2", I wouldn't worry about it.
You realize that a stock rotary engine burns engine oil normally?
