What is the best/easiest way to remove the 2 warning stickers on the fuel tank?

Cheers.

As SuperMotoBoy says hot water then peel. I soaked a sponge in boiling water and put it on sticker for few mins then same again and it peeled straight off no residue

Others have used hair dryers to heat it up

Don't use metal scouring pad as I'm sure someone with a sense of humour will suggest at some stage!!!

Thanks for the tips all. Looking at them I thought they'd peel straight off! I'll give the hot water a crack tonight when I get home. Going out for a ride upto Braidwood tomorrow, weather permitting. Lots of nice twisties?

I went with the hair dryer option - it was some cheap low powered travel hair dryer and was perfect for the job. Sticker gone, nothing left on the tank and first wash with a sponge took away the remaining outline where the sticker had been.

Apparently tank stickers are gay.
Like gold forks.
I don't make the rules I just play by them.

If you have metallic or pearl paint, do yourself a favour and get that sticker off.
Option two is never leave your bike in direct sunlight !
