You can just peel it off. It won't hurt the paint. If you can get the decal warm first, the easier it will be to remove it (hairdryer, long ride ). For any leftover adhesive, WD-40 on a towel will take it off.

if its not getting hot enough by riding it or with a hair dryer, use a heat gun from harbor freight, if I remember correctly they are like, $8.. if you dont mind spending the extra cash

be careful with a heat gun or even a hair dryer. If you let it get too hot it could peel the paint right off.

my .02, get some thick floss or a credit card (something thin that wont scratch paint)and use it to help you pry off the sticker. Get some acetone to get the good off and finally buff the area with some wax
