I was out trying to take the warning labels off my ds. They are glued on very good. I tried to peel them by hand and they didnt want to come off. Some of the stickers are too close to the graphics to pressure wash them off. Whats the best way to take them off. Thanks

Try a heat gun or use a razor blade to lift the lables.

There is also a product called sticker-off. Opposite of sticker-on.

Sadly the only thing that I've found to remove those damn labels is patience! They suck pure and simple. The way I've done it is a blow drier (don't have a heat gun) and a rasor blade. The problem is that you'll most likely scratch the bajezus out of the plastic if you're not careful. I've got a couple more I'm still going to remove and I'm going to use the Easy Off method of masking the area around the sticker and spraying the oven cleaner on the sticker. I've done this on car/truck windows and it works like a champ! Just need to be careful the amount of time you leave it on.

On my LT250R I used a blow dryer (the higher heat the better like 1500w or better) to heat them up and remove them. It was rather simple, didn't leave any marks, and most of the stickers came off whole. If you're having trouble, heat them up longer or more. The idea is to get the glue holding the sticker very hot so that it will release easier. I generally found it became very hot to touch when it was working best. I never had the need for anything but a blow dryer, and maybe some sort of blade or similar to get them started. If you start to cook your fingers, try pliars to pull at the sticker with. Once hot and you have a good hold just go slow and keep it hot! (Are we still talking about stickers here?!?!)
