Default Sticker Removal

I have an 08 cbr 600 grafitti edition. I was wanting to take off the 2 white stick on top of the tank. Will it hurt anything?

I would reccomend you use a product called 'Goo-Gone' and a guitar pick. I have used it many times and it will not damage your paint, and the pick will not scratch the bike. Soak the sticker and let it sit for a few minutes then pick at it with the pick. Whatever glue is leftwhen you are done spray it with the goo gone again and then rub it with a cloth and it will come right off.

I the red and black. I just used a hair blow dryer. Just heat up the sticker a little and start peeling it from the edge while heating it up still. comes off pretty easy. Good luck. By the way, the graffiti is way cool.

I suggest doing both. Use the blow dryer to heat up the sticker, then remove it. Use the goo gone (or mineral spirits) to remove any left over adhesive.

if your talking about the

"always wear a helmet"

and

"use only premium unleaded gasoline"

then just use your fingernail and peel slowly.
use goo-gone or any kind of cleaner to get rid of whats left.

If you are stickers that heybuddy is talking about then do it like he said. If you are talking about the graffiti graphics, then I would do a little more research before attempting to remove them. I looked into it a while back, and ran across a thread somewhere (another forum??) and they said there is some type of clearcoat or something over the graphics. One guy posted a pic of his attempt at removing the Honda logo on the tank, and it looked horrible and he didn't even get it all the way off!! This might be old news (haven't searched), but hope this helps.
