Ok I have had my bike almost 3 months and I am tired of looking at the dumb factory sticker on my gas tank. Anyone know of a good way to get it off without damaging the paint?

Hair dryer... Heat it up a bit and start peeling in a corner. If you start to see the clear pulling without the rest of the sticker, then stop and try another corner.

If there's anything left... Use some Goo Gone on it and it'll come off.

I removed most of the decals from my bike, the Suzuki behind the tail light, the S40 stickers on the side panels, the warning label on the belt guard, etc...

Good luck!

Yup, all you need is a hair dryer, something soft to scrape with (I used an old credit card) and some time.  The main decal on the tank is under the clear coat, but I still got mine off with the same tools.  A little buffing and you'll never know it was there.

Took ALL of the warning lables, tire pressure and tune-up spec labels off of my S40 ... used the hair dryer, goo gone, thumbnail method ... took awhile and I have no thumbnails left, but them dam stickers is gone!

Those of us with the S40/Boulevard logo got lucky not having that sticker on the side of our tanks.  

My '95 has the tank decals under the clearcoat, I'd have to strip and repaint the tank in order to get rid of them, so I just put different decals over them. The side cover "Savage" decals were under at least one coat of clear, but I was able to remove them. I still need to sand and buff to remove the leftover imprint, though.

I was lucky my Savage had a small dent in it when I boought it at the dealership, they said you won't a new tank or credit, I took the tank and it didn't have any sticker when it finally came in

suzukigrl,
Add a little baby oil and some time and that sticker will float right off.
