A blow dryer and some windex will take them off but some of them are clear coated so be careful...

it's a PITA. i just took off most of mine yesterday and my bike is brand new. heat is the best way to make it easier, took me forever doing it in the garage so i took the fairings off and ran hot hot water over them and they peeled off really easy (i didn't have a blow dryer and didn't want to buy one for just this purpose).

To get the residue off go to Advanced Auto Parts and get the 3M Adhesive Remover, takes that shit right off really easy. Just be sure to wash it off and wax over the areas afterwards

I would never use this - it eats your clear coat. the tank stickers are more than likely coat coated so you can not remove them unless you re paint/clear the tank

I would use a heat gun and wd-40 to help remove the glue after the sticker peals off, but that just me

need tires (take offs)? PM me
need a deal on a track day? PM me

disclaimer: I sell used tires (take-offs), these tires have been used at Jennings, Homestead, etc. (road courses for those that dont know) therefor these tires are more used up on the sides than in the middle,
