Default How to remove SV logo?

I apologise if this question has already been answered, but I would like to know the quickest, easiest way of taking off the "SV650s" logo on the upper fairing and replacing it with a different logo?

Is it lacquered over? If no, then a hairdryer to warm the area will often loosen things and make it possible to peel off.

Actually got mine off using hot boiling water. But be very careful and patient. If it takes 10 minutes to do it an inch at a time, take the time. A combination of both (boiling water/hairdryer) might work well. But also there was a previous thread here with all successful (and not so successful) methods used by others so worth having a search.

Mine peeled off easily in summer, I'd suggest a hair dryer but be VERY careful it's not lacquered over, and keep the hair dryer moving and not too close as to damage the paintwork. I used the edge of a plastic credit card and my nails, and then a bit of t cut to polish the edges out- depends how long they've been on, I did mine when the bike was new, and peeled an edge to check they weren't lacquered. Good luck.
