removal of factory decal??

[dannyre]

how can I remove the factory decal?

[kevin2502000]

Blow dryer, heat and peel. Use wd-40 or goo gone to get the sticky off.

I had to sand my tank to get the clear coat off to pull decals on it. luckily I was repainting the tank anyway

goof off and heat works good, but they are a bugger to get off. the suzuki on the tank has clear coat over it and is really hard to get off.

Ok guys, I did the heat and peel to take off the Katana and 600 stickers. Tried the goo-gone. Waste of money there. Still have the sticky-hard residue in four areas and need a freakin` solution to this without scratching the plastic or black-off ! Not trying to be complicated either. Thanks. . . . .

We're already talking about sticker removal (again) Here: http://katriders.com/vb/showthread.php?t=106032

Thanks Steves, Read that post too. . . . just trying to NOT waste any money here. The residue isnt easy to remove. It has been on there since 1996.

I used a hairdryer and a razor blade, it came off pretty easily.

3m adhesive remover did the trick for me

That is good chit there too.

I used the goo-gone and an old credit card, it worked better than other plastic scrapers. Peeled off the heavy glue residue pretty good. Then a little elbow grease and rag to completely erase it. Good Luck.

Tried the goo-gone AND credit card trick too. Oh BTW, Im doing this with plastics on the bike and upright. I will try the 3M adhesive remover next.

Rubing alcohol and goo gone made mine go away.

[Kat96]

Another idea. Thanks. Its a 1996 so.............been on there a looong time !! Also it has been a desert bike as far as I know, so it has had time to bake that stuff

I had the same issue. spray a little goo gone over the residue and sprya some goo gone on a soft cloth and lay the cloth over the residue for 10min then start to scrub. Goo gone will work but you need to take your time.
