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.

Re: How to remove SV logo?
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.

Re: How to remove SV logo?
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.
