Tank sticker removal Matte Grey bike

[R6owdlad]

Hi
Has anyone removed the sticker from the tank and if so did it leave any marks on the tank and also if you did remove it did you use any sort of label remover?
Cheers

NO marks.

Removed carefully by hand and used a hairdryer to remove the rest of the glue

Removed mine and it's left a rectangle of lighter shade of Jaffa ,no paint/lacquer damage hope its fade with time.

Me and Birdy used nitromors on ours. Worked a treat although...it did leave the paint a tad different shade lol.
Don't ask flydnb about his coz it's still there....! Wot a fudge packer haha

Vegetable oil . Massage it in and it will pick away easier. The oil thins out the sticker glue. Did it with mine -use a soft cloth/sponge to gently smooth the awkward bits away.

hair dryer to soften glue, the just peel off. If you have any glue residue left, petrol on a rag will wipe it off and not do any damage

Just a hair dryer too. No marks were left

 

[RatHead]

Yep hair dryer, or very quick and careful blast with heat gun and it peels off

As TT said...paint stripper and a sharp chisel to remove any stubborn residue !

When i bought mine i left it in the sunshine for 2 hours and then the sticker unsticked with a simple pull.
If you do it when the bike is new there isn't any diference in tank's color. But if somebody decide to unstick it after 1-2 years...maybe there will be a color-diference..

I took mine to dealer and demanded removal of this piece of crap from my tank, no marks.

I went all high tech and removed mine with my fingernail. There's no bloody sunshine in Melbourne yet, no power available in my car park - hair dryers are for girls anyway - and I couldnt bear to look at them. They are sooo ugly.
