Gas Tank Sticker Removal on 05/06 Sprint ST's?

[bareyb]

The stack of warning stickers on my tank are already bubbling up at the corners and seem to want to come off. Before I do something stupid, can these things be removed completely without messing up the paint? Any suggestions on products to use? Any advice much appreciated...

I just pulled mine off, and then cleaned up the adhesive with WD40. Worked fine. After all the adhesive was off I waxed everything with Meguiar's Gold.

That's good to hear. I've had mixed results on other bikes. My old Z750 Kowie let me take the "Z750" stickers off the fenders, but refused to let me remove the ones that said "Kawasaki" on the tank. :razz:

The tank stickers are pealing because they are meant to come off after break-in anyway.

Its just like taking off a band-aid. Give it a good waxing when done.

The odd thing about those stickers is all they really say is "Read The Manual". Did they really need SIX stickers for that? :razz:

Here's the official word from the hot chick at the Triumph dealership:

1. Set bike in Sun
2. Hit stickers with a hair dryer for a minute or two
3. Peel off stickers
4. Clean with "Goo-Gone"

Hot AND smart AND rides... Triple threat... :razz:

What stickers??







Mine didn't have any because most of the body parts and tank were replaced before it rolled away from the dealer.

The stickers never made it out of the dealer's lot.
Just ripped them off cleaned up with spit and a soft rag.
