| Ok so i attempted to take that stupid warning sticker off. I attempted and the plastic top peeled off but i can not get the rest off ? I was thinking Goo Gone or Soaking It in water to maybe loosen it up. Anyone have any suggestions or an easier way to do this. Cuz what I'm doing now is going to take me forever. Alex |

| Goo Gone works, you can also try heating it up with a hair dryer. Some people have some trouble getting theirs off while other people can peel it off no problem. No matter though because heat and goo gone will do the trick.

| Mine had the plastic covering come off (quite easily), then I used a hairdryer to remove the rest - no problem. As stated by others - use Goo Gone to clean up any residue

| Blow driver to help remove plastic then WD-40 to remove the glue. This is what worked for me anyway. I see a lot of posts about a goo gone but I had zero luck with it.

| I use label and sticker remover, its in a blue aerosol can and found near the detailing stuff at most Auto parts stores. Spray it on, wait a couple minutes and then peel off, used the same stuff on the badges and the Suzuki sticker on the tail. Also works for getting bugs and stuff off, you have to rewax afterwards as it its that too, but I use it on everything that needs desticky-ing

| The plastic cover peeled right off on both of mine so I used warm soapy water, a credit card, Metallic T-cut and elbow grease..... After a while I found I had blisters, so then I used a needle and antiseptic cream.........after that I ate a lion bar!

| yeah its a pain when the plastic cover comes off first. I used a hair dryer to warm it then would scrape at it with my fingernail. It took a long time. Just listed to a good tape or something while you do it so you aren't as likely to try to rush. I had some sticky left when done and used wd40 and paper towels many times before I got it all off. I'm not sure why they have to molecularly bond that big ugly sticker to the gas tank, I wish they'd do them with a less sticky glue! |

| On those 90 degree days, park it outside for a little bit and it will loosen up. I took some dental floss and did the side badges after parking it in the sun, and they cam right off - barely any sticky residue left. A quick wipe with rubbing alcohol and a quick wax, done.

| Hairdryer has always worked well for me. Dental floss for the getting behind the badges. I've used Meguire's Scratch-X to take some little bits of remaining glue and sticker crap off. The sticker on the driveshaft is a bad one....i used a hairdryer and the plastic top came off then used the hairdryer and scraped with my nails until I finally got everything off. Took a good hour. Make sure to put a fresh coat of wax on when you take this stuff off. |

| I don't see how that would help with removing the sticker, but I like your way of thinking sir!
