I was wondering the best way to remove the factory stickers on the tank. I own a R1 2002 red white and black.

I used hair dryer on mine. Heat should allow you to remove the stickers a bit easier. Then use one of those eazy off cleaner to remove the sticker residue and you should be all set.

stickers on the tank are covered in clear coat so you must repaint to remove them.

I am talking about the warning stickers. I have one sticker on the tank next to the gas cap.

when I pulled all of my stickers, except the flames, I used an air tool that was similar to a dremel, but had an eraser wheel on it. took the damn thing off in seconds. no heat, no glue residue, and no damage to the clear coat. I just had eraser pieces all over me though. a quick spray down with the air hose took care of that.
