You’ve probably done it by now but if you haven’t, apparently a hairdryer and WD40 will do the job. Check this link…

Petrol definitely works, I removed the VERY stubborn adhesive from an old tank pad using petrol, worked a treat !
CILLIT BANG…BANG AND THE STICKER’S GONE!
Ok It’s OFF. Persevered with the WD40 kept applying it letting it soak and stood the bike in the sun. Picked it a bit. wiped it. Went for a ride
Then repeated the process again and again, eventually it came off little by little. Did the same on Daughters bike. She is a very happy biker now. as she has wanted her sticker off for months. I have a sore thumb but not to worry it was soooo worth it. Thanks for all the tips good and bad.
I’ve been at a sticker with lighter fluid and my thumb. The lighter fluid gets rid of the sticky stuff but the label itself… my thumb is sore.
Nail varnish remover has always worked well in the past, although my girlfriend at the time probably got fed up with mysteriously running out!

Old post but my two cents… a bit of petrol on a rag and it comes straight off, this is from experience removing the stupid “always wear a helmet” sticker Honda puts on your tank. Remember to clean the tank straight after so the petrol doesn’t damage your paintwork. WD40 and nail varnish remover ( acetone effectively ) will probably just damage the tank, especially the acetone.
The best things is orange or citrus based label remover. It dissolves the glue and then justs wipes off.
Hairdrier followed by WD40 and some elbow grease:cool:
Can you get the elbow grease at B&Q?
Yes mate, they are on the shelf next to the Ankle Taps;)
WD40 and an old soft plastic membership card
2 minutes done and dusted
Vinegar
and why are we digging up old posts?
I got the tank sticker off my bike by pouring hot (not boiling) water from a kettle on it, then using one of those soft plastic spreaders you get with Araldite to scrape it off bit by bit. It took about 15 minutes.
I cleaned the residue off with a bit of kerosene, then cleaned that off with water.
Bish bash bosh.

Are you a BetterWare Catalogue shopper or something?
You must be like my mum, do you also also keep chewing gum remover, ink stain remover and other such domestic crap at home?
I know this reply is a bit late but you can still learn
Lighter fluid for zippo’s always works
40 grit production paper?. I used it to get the stickers off my tank.
