Hey guys i've been on the technical section over and over on this topic.I know a few of you guys say they come right off but i swear my 99's look clear coated on,does anyone know for sure?

Savage is under the clear coat... S40 are on top (or are actual badges).

what a pain that was!

I did the same to mine.

Make sure the tank is empty (I left it on the bike) and use a dryer or paint peeler to heat up an edge of the sticker.  Then attack that edge at a sharp angle with a plastic scraper, like a credit card or a plastic putty knife.  

I only heated a 1x1 inch section at a time to keep the tank from getting too hot, and risk hurting the paint.

You'll still be able to see where the sticker was, since there'll be no clear coat over that area of paint.  I wet sanded the edges with ~2000 grit paper, and then used some cleaner wax on it.  Looks decent unless you look real close or see it in the right light.

Good luck,
