All mine except the large white one on tank came off first day using hair dryer but that last one would not budge. Few weeks later after leaving bike in hot sunshine all day it peeled right off with WD40 taking the residue left behind away

Re: Warning Stickers

I starting taking my stickers off the tank about 5 weeks ago and it's still not off yet!!

I have had a hair dryer on it and it was burning my fingers it got so hot and the bloody sticker would only come off in 1mm by 2mm bits, after about 2 hours and hair dryer over heated and my fingers were red so I gave up with only about a 2cm removed.

I am going to try the suggestion of petrol socked rag to see if that works.

Yep - Carbon copy of my actions. All stickers are off except rhs upper which is currently residing at about 82%. It looks a mess, tut. My old fella reckons a tub of black gloss over the lot should do the trick:pale:

Hey, did the petrol, rag, rub trick today. All sorted - it looks mint - thanks to all for the advice.

Re: Warning Stickers

use the hair dryer trick and then take 3M polishing compound with a microfiber towel and take the glue off worked great for me i use it on the entire bike to make it look better but if you do use polishing compound put a coat of wax back on to protect it. I recommend Maguire's NXT wax

2. Pour on sticker.

3. Take sticker off and pour more on and use a lint-free rag to take the remaining glue off.

4. Admire better looking motorcycle. Less is more.:thumbsup:

Works everytime metal, painted metal or plastic, old balance weight glue/foam on your wheels.

:)

Will try the kettle today to get the glue off the tank...
won't boiling water damage the plastic fairing? I won't use a heat gun there.

I was using a heat gun, but half way through the tank sticker it came to me that I'm heating a tank with petrol with a heat gun :confused:

What temp. would you say is needed/safe?

Re: Warning Stickers

Yes!!!
It worked!
The tank is silver again :)

One advice, if you're using boiling water:
wear at least 4 latex gloves :)
