Tank... fugetaboutit,... they're under the clearcoat... if you do take them off, you'll need to reapply clear, or live with it... Not the best news,... I know...

I don't know if it'll help with your tank tho. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?board=tech;action=display;num=1181828138

The safety warning sticker on my 2007 was not under the clear coat, it came right off.

Tank side decals;

2004 and earlier LS650 models (Savage) ... under clear coat ... not so easy off Sad

2005 and later LS650 models (S40 Boulevard) ... raised, plastic chrome, embossed logo ... easily removed using a bit of dental floss carefully worked under to loosen adhesive ... use sawing motion back and forth to gently remove. Clean up left on residue with WD40 as suggested.
