Does anybody know a way to peel off those warning stickers/labels on the gas tank and on the wind shield?

I was starting at the corners of the labels with my finger nail but it is making a mess: glue marks were left behind:bash .

How do you clean up the glue marks with out scratching the paint or the wind shield?

Goo Begone works great, available in Kmarts & other stores, or try WD40, neither will damage paint or plastics.

use baby oil on the gas tank, get as much as you can off with your fingernails. then rub it with baby oil. Baby it a little. it will come right off. on the wind screen DONT use the baby oil. im not so sure how to get it off, mine came right off, no problem, i just pealed it off.:eek:

Use a hairdryer to get the stickers off. Goof Off can take off the residue if you've already torn the stickers.

Hair dryer or anything that can apply some heat to soften the glue up will work. Be careful not to get things too hot..:no warm them up then peel em off S..L..O...W...L...Y.... :yesnod ENJOY!!! Good Luck!!!:rock

I removed some stickers off my bike. I took a hairdryer and it came right off but left that pesky residue. I got frustrated and posted my frustration on Cycle World(before I knew of this great site:makeout ). They told me to use turpentine, yes turpentine. I was nervous about putting it on my paint but it took off the residue in a matter of minutes without harming the paint! Goo Gone works too but it cost more and you will probably never use it again.
