Well the first order of business was to remove the 46 warning sticker that are stuck everywhere. I hope I can remember not to shift into reverse while riding, and that gas is flammable, and to leave the belt cover on, and all the other tidbits of information from the labels. I know it's a liability thing but it still bugs me that they have almost the whole owners manual plastered to the plastic in bright white and orange stickers.

At least they make them easy to remove, I just heated them up with a hair dryer and most of them peeled right off. A couple left some goo that I was able to use the rest of the sticker to peel off (some tape would work too) and just a couple needed a little penetrating oil to clean the goo off.

It looks 10 times better without all the stickers on it. I left the one on the left front fender, it's rivited on. That one doesn't bother me, it pretty much covers everything you need to know, the rest are just redundant, repedative, say the same thing over and over... ...anyway...

I DID THE EXACT SAME THING TO MINE. I COULDNT STAND ALL THOSE DAD BLAME STICKERS. I DIDNT EVEN HAVE TO HEAT THEM UP. THEY CAME RIGHT OFF AS SOON AS I UNLOADED IT FROM THE TRUCK FROM THE DEALER LOT. I DID THAT BEFORE THE SUN HEATED UP THE STICKERS AND COOLED AGAIN AND MADE THEM STICK BETTER. LIKE I SAID, THEY CAME RIGHT OFF.

NOW WHAT ARE WE BOTH GOING TO DO TO OUR EXACTLY ALIKE 650S? I PERSONALLY WANT A LITTLE MORE TOP END SPEED. I CAN GET 61 OUT OF MINE. I WEIGH 290LBS, GIVE OR TAKE. NO OTHER UTILITY QUAD HAS BEATEN ME IN A RACE, BUT I WANT TO SMOKE THEM WITH AUTHORITY. KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING WHAT YOU ADD TO YOUR 650.

LONGARM.

I took the stickers off of my 650 with my pressure washer using a 40 deg nozzle. Just took seconds and no elbow grease either.
