I VERY LIGHTLY dragged the corner of a flat head screw driver over it a few times, just to break up the sticker so when I sprayed it with goo gone it could soak in easier throughout the sticker. Then I took a credit card to it and kept soaking it with goo gone. A finger nail might work for putting some scratches on the sticker, and would definitely be safer on the paint than the screw driver, or maybe even a plastic putty knife.

The warning stickers are a PIA to remove. I used goo gone and my finger nails. My fingers were so sore afterwards and the whole process traumatized me so much that I didn't even attempt to remove the stickers on the frame. But just recently I used a Sharpie marker on those stickers to black them out.

LOL! THAT is a great idea Snafu!!!

got it off in about 15 minutes

warm to hot day
need a plastic putty spreader/spatula
2 microfiber cloths
1 can of wd 40
1 bottle of motorcycle cleaner probably with amonia

from the corners of the sticker take the plastic scraper and slowly push while sliding the blade back and forth. Take the microfiber cloth and spray a section well with wd-40. wipe the square of glue residue until you can not see it. look at it from a different angle to make sure that the square is gone. then witht he motorcycle cleaner (blackhawk from walmart is what i used) saturate a section of the new microfiber cloth and then clean off the wd-40 residue. if you do this within 15 to 20 minutes, there will be no remains.

just did it

So i took off the sticker today, Goo Gone and a %%%% tone of elbow grease did the trick. Im glad it came off easy for some of you. took me about an hour.

Wow, mine came off super easy. I just pulled up one corner and it all came of nicely. Used a little goo gone to clean up the rest and was done.

Credit Card, WD-40 and cotton balls. Scrapped like hell with the credit card to get the sticker off. After that I soaKed a couple cotton balls with WD-40 and proceeded to rub the hell out of the area. Looks perfect like nothing was ever there. I was worried after scrapping the sticker cuz there were alot of marks and stuff I wasn't sure about, but after the WD-40, it cleaned up perfect. BTW make sure you wax or protect after applying WD-40 or whatever you use.
