WD-40 has always worked for me. Although I've heard Goo-Gone works good too. Just remove the decal, saturate any remaining adhesive with the product of your choice, and use a coarse towel to rub it off. If it's real stuborn you can use a credit card (or similar) so as to not scratch anything up.

tank stickers
I also plan on removing the warning stickers on the swingarm, as well as those on the tank. Would I remove the tank stickers the same way? I want to make sure I don't scratch or damage anything. I removed the stickers on my Seca II a while back, but they were so old that they chipped into pieces, and it took hours to do. I assume this will be much easier since these stickers aren't 17 years old, lol. Also, there's no outlet near my car port, so I figured I'd just park the bike in the sun for a few minutes to get it warm first, then go at it with Goo Gone and a rag. Any advice is much appreciated.

awesome
Thanks, Incognito. I'll be doing that this week, so I'll let you guys know if I run into any problems. Probably a piece of cake though. 
I just don't feel like staring at those warnings that say "Always wear a helmet" and "Look both ways before crossing the street" every time I hop on. I get it already! I especially don't need "Stop, drop and roll" or "4 nuts on 2 wheels don't mix" there on the swingarm. You guys have the same stickers right? I mean seriously, who do they think we are?

Take your time, it's your tank-your pride and joy.
I did it with a heat gun and it came off no problem.

btw
They all came off just fine. I let the bike sit in the sun to warm up first, peeled them off, and then cleaned it up with Goo Gone and a microfiber rag. No damage whatsoever. It looks WAY better now. I'm glad too because man, those stickers on my old bike were impossible to get off without scratching the paint. That bike's already scratched up though so you can't tell anyway.
