Default V Force Warning Labels

Brand new V, from showroom floor to garage, question, what's the best way to remove all those warning labels, and if removed will there be any discoloration where the stickers were? The V hasen't been ridden or has not sat outside at all.

I don't know the best way to remove them, but when I bought mine the stickers were already removed. It hasn't left any discoloration or anything though..

I removed mine with a hot water pressure washer, works great. You can also heat up the sticker with a hair dryer or heat gun and the glue will let go and you can slowly pull the sticker back. It will leave some glue behind but a cleaner will take it off, I used bug begone and it worked great. No discolor at all.

I left mine on. I figured that each sticker represented about six square inches of plastic that won't get scratched. Then I can take them off in a year, when I want at least a few square inches of plastic that isn't scratched, LOL.

I've removed some stickers with my pressur washer.
but my wife found some stuff called Undo Adhesive Remover
which she uses for scrapbooking that works great.

if you put a sticker on your atv crooked will remove
the sticker and even allow you to re-use the sticker
because it doesn't desolve the glue..

I blasted mine off with a press. washer. You can also sit it out in the sun, then peel'em right off. OR use a hair drier to heat'em up, then you can peel'em.

I used a hair dryer to heat the stickers and then pealed them off. There was still some "sticker glue" left which I removed with a product called "Sticker Off". You leave this stuff on the glue for about 10 min. and then wipe it off. You can see by my photos that not only did I remove the warning stickers but I removed all the decals on my "V" and I have to say it took longer than I would have liked. I see guys are using pressure washers to get the stickers off.....if this method takes all the sticker glue off at the same time I would go that route.

First take a hair dryer set on high. Wave it slowly over the first half of the sticker. Start peeling it off slowly while waving the hair dryer over the sticker. They come off easily. Any leftover glue residue can be taken off with paint thinner or mineral spirits.
