Warning Sticker Removal

How do I get the warning sticker, just below the speedometer, off without messing up the paint, or leaving sticky residue?

Go to the Tech section. It's all there.
Good luck.

Heat up with hairdryer. It'll peel right off (even if on it for years). Clean residue with WD40. Wax.

The hair dryer technique is in the Tech Section.

I peeled mine off on afternoon this summer when the bike had been in the sun for a while. No hairdryer needed.

If you lay your bike on the right side in the sun, you can get the one's on the frame and the belt guard too.

I'm in the automobile business and we've allways used the heatgun (hairdryer) as long as I can remember to remove stickers of cars. I just removed some off my 650 Interstate (that's for sale) that had been on there for 24 years in less then 5 minutes. Cleaned residue with WD40. Easy!

That's the way I do it, and the topic in the tech section contains an article from a bike magazine about it too.
I have an old hair dryer in the garage just for stickers. I also have a heat gun that I use for heat shrink tubing, but I'm kinda afraid to use it on paint

I used a heat gun, mainly because I have one and not a hair dryer. It was still a pain in the arse. I used goo gone to get the residue off but it took some doing.
Now I noticed the tanks got some swirl marks on it when you look at the right angle in bright light they really stick out. Guess I'll have to polish those out.
I didn't notice the article from the bike magazine, maybe I need to look again. What was the title?

Hair dryer is a little more gentle. Get your wife or girlfriend a new hair dryer for a gift and get the old one. That's how I did it
Swirl marks mean that something abrasive was involved. Maybe a dirty rag. For some reason, I've never had any luck with Goo Gone. Always use WD40.
Of course, you didn't find the article because it isn't there. I just checked. Hmmm. Crap

If there is any sticky residue, I use Goo-Gone to remove it.
Great stuff!
