Either spray it with WD-40 and let it soak for 10 minutes or grab some Goo Gone. |

It shouldn't. If you're worried try it on a small spot that's out of sight. |

Warm it up with a hair dryer, that might help. |

I used a heat gun. Warmed them up for a few seconds and they came right off, with no mess. |

I'll try out the heat gun if it ever quits raining. Eddy if you would have read the thread then you would have realized that it didn't just pull right off. |

I did. Seriously though, my stickers peeled right off. Goo be gone could be your friend here. |

I heated them up with a hair dryer and they peeled right off. A little goo gone took care of the left over glue. |

Sry eddy its hard to tell when someone is being an a$$ or just being sarcastic. I did the hair drier and they came off but it was still a pain. I could only pull off strips at a time. Now I just need to get some goo gone to see if I can clean off the gunk. |

+1 for heatgun/hair drier. Denatured alcohol to clean things up if sticky residue is left over. |

if by any chance you have zippo type lighter fluid that is really good for getting off sticky residue just pour some on the sticky stuff and rub off with a rag. |

I pulled mine off the day i got the bike no problem. Oh in case someone reads the above wrong. Make sure it's a blow drier not a heat gun |

I worked in the sign business, and the trick is to soften the glue with a heat gun. Try to keep the heat gun far enough away as not to overheat the label making it brittle and hard to peel. Take it slow and if there is glue residue use Goo Gone, WD-40, Zippo lighter fluid or Denatured alcohol ( none of these will harm the finish ) |

Aren't you scared that kids are gonna start licking your paint if you take the labels off? Maybe you'll take more chances and risk injury or death? I'd leave them all on. The labels will make you a safer rider. (insert smiley here if necessary) |
