    How do you get stickers off the bike EASILY? And I don't mean a cup of petrol and a match. I want to be able to use the bike again.

    I have been using a razor blade but there must be an easier way... The glue is no problem, once the sticker is gone.

    A heat gun or really hot hair drier. Just don't hold the heat on there too long as it'll start to melt the plastics. I removed all of the decals on my extra set of fairings in about an hour and that is a sh*t load of decals on my scoot.

    Heat gun (or hair dryer), then Big Kev's Goo Remover to get rid of the crud underneath.

    The other day I was helping chris get some stickers off...

    I used a few things..

    I soaked the area in preen YUP thats right lol

    Then I got a blade.. I wrapped a t shirt around it and soaked the t shirt in some water and degreaser... It was a bit os elbow grease but it came off with out a scratch to the tank <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

    I will give the missus's hair dryer a hit one night when she goes to work. What she don't know won't hurt me.

    definitely give the hairdryer a go, I had a lot of dainese stickers on mine, so I cracked out mum's hairdryer and that worked a treat <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
