Cruizin Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Anyone remove the ugly tank sticker yet? I'm thinking a blow dryer, strong fingernail and WD-40 should take care of it. Hair dryer for like a minute on hottest setting and it will peel off real easy, dont spray any WD-40 on that beautiful bike! Another real easy method is a wet sponge of hot water, press on it for two minutes and then peel off.

Another real easy method is a wet sponge of hot water, press on it for two minutes and then peel off. Wonder where my hair dryer is? Probably at the back of a cupboard in my garage (haven't used it for hair in over 10 years! 8-)) Definitely preferable to a hot water sponge, as the garage is kept at only +2 C in winter.

FigJam-OhNine Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 @deersslayer, I tried to remove mine, and it was just chipping away in tiny pieces. Then I tried taking it off after it was in my parkade overnight and it just came right off. No need to warm it up, just don't try when it's noticeably cold. Peels away easy at room temp, and a licked thumb will get off any leftover residue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyD Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Took mine off the second I got her home along with the reflectors front and rear. It just peeled off in one easy piece with zero residue left. The key is get them off before it's had extended time in the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member ULEWZ Posted January 19, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted January 19, 2015 Just like the movie, gone in 60 seconds. Mine pealed off easy, but left some glue residue. Dabbing the old sticker on the residue repeatedly did the trick. A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

MicMacinACT Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I totally agree that the warning stickers plastered all over today's new bikes are very ugly and detract from the looks/styling. It seems that these 'safety' stickers are there for the 0.01% of people who have no idea of what's what and the rest of us are stuck (pun intended) with them! I agree that the earlier you take them off, the easier it is. If you're having problems removing them perhaps a visit to you friendly local paint-shop/repairer might be worthwhile. They have the equipment (heat guns, solvents, etc,) and the experience to do it easily and if you ask nicely (with a six-pack in hand ) they would probably be happy to do it on the spot. I have used a hair dryer in the past and it does help. Just make sure you don't heat it up too much. Cheers Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamaham Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Be advised this sticker as the tag on your mattress are NOT to be removed, there is a legal reason they are there. Having said that mine came right off with not much effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
