mineral spirits will not hurt the paint any paint no mater what kind it is, some others will because they are too strong. you could let mineral spirits sit on the paint for hours and it would not hurt it.but what ever you do don't use a heat gun it's too hot. use a hair dryer only.

Place where I got my bike last serviced, got a young guy to clean my bike up (company policy) Used a high pressure water gun on it!!!. Managed to blast the sticker on the right hand side panel without to much of a problem.
They gave me the sticker to replace it (as I no longer trusted these dicks to do it). On my bike, 98 CBR600, the only painted surface is the tank. The fairing & side panel are polished ABS plastic.
Not sure about your bike, if so, paint damage won't be a prob, but lifting the sticker may leave a visible mark, as the surface underneath won't have faded.

There is also something the guys at bodyshops use. It is a large rubber wheel on a drill bit. Works really well, you just have to be careful not to burn the paint with it by staying in one spot too long. It is used on cars a lot to remove pinstripes. That is the first thing I am going to try when I remove all my decals.
