Hey. I got a graphics kit to put on the Banshee. Any tips on removing the stock ones? Thanks.

I use a hair dryer for all types of decals on metal & or plastic. It's necessary the keep the dryer moving on plastic to prevent damage to it and doing it indoors is preferable to maintain the heat.

I know it sounds stupid, but by far the cleanest way to remove decals is with a pressure washer. Just go by the car wash and hit em' hard at the edge. They come of easy without leaving any residue or rub marks. I learned this by accident but have done it many times. It never fails.

Yup, I agree with Mud_Runner. I was at the power wash a couple of days ago, and without thinking, blasted that Yamaha sticker on the front of the Banshee, and all the lettering came off.

I did the same thing as Twinshot.
I now own a "Ya ha" Raptor!

As far as washing off letters, my wifes Warrior is a AMAHA.
I removed every sticker from my Warrior. I like the clean look. I used our heat gun. I just heated the underside of the fenders, while I peeled the stickers from the other side. Just be careful not to fry the plastic. You can fry it with a regular hair dryer, so if you do use a heat gun, be EXTRA careful. My heatgun can light a match, so you can only imagine the damage you can do to a plastic fender.
If you're careful, you can have all the plastic off in a few minutes.
