Premium Member fz07fanboy Posted October 19, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted October 19, 2015 Wanted to revise this thread. I just removed the tank sticker on my bike yesterday and it was so easy. I used a plastic pry that you use to open electronic gadgets. The best thing about it is that it won't scratch the paint. The sticker would roll and scrap off like paint. The next thing i did was use WD40 on a rag and vigorously rubbed off the sticker residue. Once i was satisfied with that, I just used some plexus plastic cleaner and it was all good.

Beemer Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Two of them?! The one was hard enough to get off, now you want to struggle with stickers twice as much over safety reasons?! Let's work smarter, not harder and simply put the dag-um thing right in the middle where it can be seen from both sides and especially while sitting on it (as though it won't be seen because it's on one side only, ha!) and maybe use some 'people friendly' adhesive instead of bear claw resistant glue, thank you!
