Allan Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Does any one know how to remove the warning sticker on the fuel tank to the left of the gas cap? A clean removal would be preferred. If you have done this or you know how, please let me know. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azfz Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I just peeled it off with my finger nails and then cleaned the tiny bit of leftover goo from the sticker with an alcohol swab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qjohnson Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Mine just pealed right off. Just leave it in the sun for a bit and it should peel right off. If not just get a heat gun or a hair dryer and heat it up and peel it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizin Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Best way. Take sponge, soak in hot water, do not wring out, hold on sticker and apply pressure for five minutes, remove and then peel sticker off. Nothing else is as easy, trust me.

olderthandirt Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hair dryer to get it hot....peel up slow with fingernail. It will come off in one piece with patience.

Damn man, kije i said just hold a hot wet sponge on it and then peel it off and the water stops residue from being left behind. Pic wont make it any easier, just go do it!

Premium Member V8titanpwr Posted September 6, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 6, 2014 Just look at anyone else's bike on here, that sticker was pretty much the first thing to go. Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenhound386 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Yeah, I meant a pic with it gone. I wanted to see the tank with the sticker gone. You know what the left side looks like? That's what the right side looks like with the sticker removed I did the hairdryer method. Super easy. Good luck! 2011 ZX-6R 2015 FZ-07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeisan Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I literally peeled it right off after riding the bike home for the first time. 95+ degree heat with 80%+ humidity in Memphis made it simple! Now what was not so simple was the darn white label on the front right side of the frame. That thing was a PITA. Life is good on 2 wheels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Thanks to all. I don't really know if I mind it though.. I don't think it looks to bad.. Or maybe I'm blinded by fear I'm gonna mess it up some how. I don't know.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueangel Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I used Goo Gone. Squirt some over the sticker. Have a paper towel handy to catch the excess. Let it soak for a minute or two. Then slowly peel the sticker away. If there is any residue left just clean it up with a bit of Goo Gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member crazycracka501 Posted September 7, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 7, 2014 Blow dryer is a tried and true method with cars and bikes alike for me. Just heat up and peel right off. Make it stop!....Now make it go faster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
