How do you take the "yzf" off of the side fairing on a 02 R1. It doesn't look like a sticker. Do I have the take the entire sticker off with the white part to?

Can someone please let me know how to get the glue off after the sticker removal? I tried that 3m stuff and it SUCKS! I tried windex, soap and water etc. Maybe I should use a scraper.

Try M.E.K. Great adheaive removal. I make labels for a living so I'm dealing with adheaisve all day long. MEK. stands for Methol Ethol Keton. You can find it in any hardware store in the paint section.

i took mine off used lighter fluid at first then sprayed brake clean on a rag and whipped it real fast came right off.be sure to wax it after you do this. later tim

Goof Off! or soak it in WD-40 and lots of buffing.

I just took off all the stickers on my Silver 02. I used a heat gun at low heat (or a hair dryer should work). Heated the stickers up just enough that they will pull away. If you get the right heat on them they will leave minimal adhesive behind.

And like Ronin R1 said, I just used WD-40 while the plastic was still a little warm and it takes it right off. I just used a rag or paper towel. Just have to do a little spot and then change spots in the rag or towel. It gums up pretty quick but will remove all adhesive.

I then sprayed her down with Meguiar's Quick Detailer in a bottle to remove the WD-40.

Just remember not to get a heat gun too hot and close. The worst sticker was the R1 on the front fairing by the headlight.

Which 3M stuff? Was it the 3M Adhesive, Tar, and Wax Remover? It worked great for me, I use it quite a bit.

The 3m adhesive remover should work well on my 02 R1 but my 99 gixxer, those stickers seem to have been put on with contact cement. I can almost take the R1 stickers off with my bare hands and patience. Any suggestions for the gixxer stickers?

The (cough) Honda (cough) dealer in a can polish works well. Saturate the sticker and let it set for about 20 minutes. Wipes off nicely with very little effort.

achaol rubbing pads work well

if you don't have a heat gun, use a hairdryer, it worked for me.

I use goo-off or adhesive remover. Spray on, leave for a few seconds and wipe right off. Make sure you wax it after. :rock

goof off yeh....what about taking the stickers that are clearcoated on the tank how do you go about that?
