Default Sticker removal.

My bikes got a couple of dynojet stickers on the lower fairings that id like to remove. Problem is they dont look too bad so if removing them is going to leave a discoloured or marked area then id rather leave well alone. I dont want to start picking at them in case they wont come off at all. Can anyone suggest a method for removal that wont leave a sticky mess or half a sticker left behind, thanks xxx

Heat up with hair dryer. Should melt the glue holding the sticker on.

boil a kettle of water and pour slowly over the sticker then with your nail start to pick it off, use more water if you need to then use wd40 or gt85 and a soft rag to remove any sticky bits then t-cut or polish off, removed my warning stickers this way

Brake/carb cleaner, should be fine on the paintowrk. Hot water and a hairdryer, sorts it. As said failing that T-Cut would be your friend!

Isn't brake cleaner basically like brake fluid?

As crazy as it sounds, Ive heard that baby wipes (yes you read that right ) are good at removing stickers and sticker residue.

Id suggest testing the method first though..
