the best way to take of your stickers is to take a hair dryer to them and let them start to peel off, slowely pull them off. remember if your plastic is faided you will see the unfaided part where the sticker came off.

hope this helps

You can also get some Goo-Gone to get rid of the sticky residue...be sure to get the kind that won't hurt plastic though... Definitely warm them up otherwise you'll be peeling teeny pieces off at a time...been there done that

A powerwasher does a good quick job too

Thats kinda funny how everyone that answered this still has factory graphics on there except akracer. The easiest way is a hairdryer and a plastic putty knife. The powerwasher does work if have a corner or something already or a tear that can work on. Oh well my beans thrown in the pile.

The safety sticker come off real good with carb or brake cleaner, just rinse with water quickly. Spray it on and let set for about 2 mins. Not sure on the factory decals. The puddy knife or razor blade left scratches on mine. You will need that goo-gone for the remaining adhesive.

I would not risk slicing my plastic with a razor blade. Accidents happen , no matter how careful you are ! The best product out there for removing glue adhesive, tar , gum , or any other sticky stuff off your machine or what ever else you want, even cloth and carpet , is called
3M ADHESIVE REMOVER. I have used this for many years with no problems and it ALWAYS works. I use this on my cars , snowmobiles , and atv`s. I even got roofing tar out of my carpet!
Hope this helps. The 3M adhesive remover is kinda spendy , but will last along time.
