Try Goo Gone or W-D 40.

take a little gasoline and put some on a rag and wipe the tail section down, then put on a coat of wax and make it shine

If you don't have goo gone, try a little rubbing alcohol. Don't forget to wax when you got it cleaned up.

I "second" the WD-40 suggestion.

Ouch! on that scar... sorry to see that harryson.

we used a combination of Nail Polish remover and the Goo remover along with my girlfriends hard nails and my short nails ...
for the tank and tail (less the suzuki logo cause I like it) it took us 2 days of patient rubbing and scratching and no scars.

mine peeled right off...

Rubbed a little bit of "Sticker Remover" by goo gone, and just peeled with my finger.
Dried with a rag, no marks at all...

Ouch on that scar, but like everyone said, Clean it, Wax it and you're good to go

I used the goo gone and a hairdryer, fingernails, that little plastic tag that has you key code on it.... still took an hour and a half of scrubbing.

BTW, thanks to whoever made the post about the numbers on that plastic tag, because after I used it to scrap off the suzuki sticker i threw it down not knowing what it was. Luckily I read the post the next day, and found it after an hour of searching.... sigh...

I have used this to remove sticker goo. Works great and no mosquitoes.

I just peeled mine right off too. Nothing more than my nail to pick up the corner. Maybe my bike was made on a monday and the sticker guy was hungover
