Stupid question - what do you use to get the "Warning..." sticker off of the gas tank?

Thanks

Hair dryer or a little bit of a heat gun will do it, just make sure to get it heated up and continue applying it as you remove by pulling up from a corner.

I used heat and goo gone. Worked great!

Hair dryer and some goo gone, with a lot of elbow grease and it comes right off. Give her a good waxing when your done and it will look like it was never there.

patience, lots and lots of patience

That one is a b!tch to get off, but everyone here has done it and pretty much the same way. I was impatient and used the edge of my nail and rubbing alcohol, then cleaned thoroughly after I was finished. Should have heated it first.

It sounded so easy

A very thin piece of clear plastic came off right away. The warning sticker came off one little tiny piece at a time.

I just peeled it off and used a combination of goo gone and some skin so soft that was laying around the house. Took a little while and some elbow grease but now it looks great.

now wait until you get the Yamaha bubble screen, same stupid little type of sticker that took me about an hour to get off.... in little piece by piece.

Funny, I was thinking about getting the tinted bubble screen.. Maybe I can pay the dealer to peel it off for me or something
