how's it goin'? i have an '01 Yammie R1 and was wondering what the best method of sticker removal would be. here's a couple of pics.

 

Goo gone, blow dryer, patience

 

Best time to remove stickers is in the summer... Or you can use a heat gun to warm up the adhesive (stickers come off easier when heated). Peel them off with your fingernails then use either gas or goo gone. ( I use gas then immediately wash with soap and wax afterwards.)

 

I just removed some sitckers form my bike yesterday. I used a heat gun to peel them off, and 3M adhesive remover to get any leftover adhesive. It takes a little time but it worked like a charm!

Edit: I cant spell today

Just a heads up. The gas tank stickers have clear coat over them. As in paint. Just in case you didn't know.

 

Every decal on my bike has clear coat over it, dont know if it came that way. But it has been repainted so it may havent?

 

You want to look like this...

HAHAHA, you want to see sticker removal, look at my last bike. It was a FZR 600. It had PURPLE rims, the pink decal on the tank, the big pink and purple decals on the side.. I pulled ALLLLL the stickers off and polished it up, underneath was a nice dark dark metalic blue that looked BEAUTIFUL.. Here is the finished product.. The only thing i painted was the silver strip on the gas tank and the rims.. Everyting else is still stock..


that is before

this is after



Turned out really nice...

 

here is the transformation



a couple weeks later




heat gun is the best way.

Me too, i thought that i was the only one.

 

Well, he did leave some decals on.

 

 

Nice pics. Looks like you're missing your sidemarker.

Anyhow, just use goo gone. You can also heat up your stickers if you want. But like the other post says, the tank would have to be repainted. There's clear coat over that sticker.

I miss my R6.
