Removing the petrol tank Suzuki sticker? - SV650.org

How easy is to remove the Suzuki sticker from the petrol tank? I've used the search function but all I got was how easy it is to remove the other stickers. Is the tank one lacquered on? Will I need a wee bit of wet and dry?

Cheers

Easy, Don't go near it with wet & dry
heat it if poss.
not laquered on the K4

Sorry, you do mean the idiot warning sticker not "SUZUKI" or "S"?

I now think you don't - sorry can't help. But why?

dead easy, warm gently with a hair drier, peel off. any residue will come off with a little wd40 and a cloth. It was actually easier to remove than the ones on the fairings.

if it's the Suzuki or the S sticker on the tank then yes it is lacquered over

Its the actual silver "suzuki" sticker on both sides of the tank.

I peeled the silver S off the tank of my '06 naked blue (U.S. model) and it came off with no problems. It's now almost two months later and you can't see any difference in the paint where the S was.

So it may vary by model year.

I am wanting to take mine off and add a black "S".
It will go with the theme a lot better.
Only problem is, it's a do or die situation. I really do not want to **** the tank up.
