Removing sv decals

I asked on another board, but they weren't sure any maybe someone here has done it. I want to remove the sv650 sticker beside the pillion seat, but I'm not sure if it's laquered over or not. I THINK it's not, and it looks as though it would peel with a bit of heat, but am nervous.

Has anyone done it?

cheers Shona

All I can say is that the fairing decals on the pointy are NOT laquered.

However you MAY be able to see where the stickers WERE after you take them out due to fading etc.

But a hairdryer and the edge of a credit card are your friends in this matter.

Oooh, brilliant, thankyou. It's a 2007 pointy, hopefully will be able to polish out any areas that look like they've been there.

Ta very much

A little T-cut should sort out any fading issues.

Just to add I am talking about the front fairing on the S model.

There may be laquer to protect the ones on the rear which would be more prone to rubbing from a pillion.

As suggested, put a hair dryer on it and use the edge of a credit card (preferably old one as you will lift the plastic on it with the heat.)

If it comes away easily keep going, if it doesnt, then stop before damaging.

But assuming they use the same sticker its, from memory, a foil sticker.

.............or if you can't get a hairdryer to your bike, boil kettle, pour on the offensive sticker and pick/scrape off. (It does'nt melt your paint or plastic!)

Removed most of the warning stickers on various bikes this way. (Good for getting rid of tar as well)

Cheers - I've got some of that.

It's the pillion decal on the naked, it doesn't look laquered, I'm going to try and see, thanks!

I've peeled a bit and no laquer- doesn't look like fading anywhere either. It's too cold, will continue with a hairdryer at weekend. Thanks for the advice everyone.

Why do you want it removed?
