What's the best way to get the ugly factory safety stickers the manufacturer insists on plastering on the tank off of the GSXF? :idea:

If it's an 08 with the stickers on the tank, they are under a clear coat, so no easy way to remove.

Just put the bike with stickers in the sun, let is warm up and peel the sticker off.
Use a solvent to get rid of the sticky glue layer.
Use solvent that won't affect the plastic or your paint

My stupid mistake for not reading properly. I thought you meant the stripe.

The safety stickers ARE NOT clear coated on.

Heat 'em up and peel 'em off. They are quite easy to remove.
I used a hair dryer to get them off and some eucalyptus oil to remove any left over glue.

Sorry again for the misread/post.
