My new ninja 1000 has very many labels stuck to the paint that I want to remove. Does anyone know a good / method that won't damage the paint? I thought about leaving it out in the sun for awhile to soften them up, but some are in out of the way places and won't get very hot. Thank you. |

Without the labels, how will you know not to do things like put Kool-Aid in the fuel tank or not to stare into the headlight until you're blind? |

Or adjust the windscreen with both hands while hauling buggy through heavy traffic. |

I've removed lots of labels with 1 of my wife's old hair dryers. Heat up a corner and start pulling while you apply heat. I hate all the labels that they put on newer bikes. |

low slow heat the best. There are products like UnDo (cannot be shipped to calif) that are safe for plastics paint etc. |

WD-40 is great for softening and dissolving glue. Lift one edge of a label, squirt, wait, lift, squirt, wait... |

+1 for WD40 Lighter fluid also works well (Naptha) without any issues with paint. At one point I was a reseller of specialized power line filters. We sold hundreds and I wanted to remove the industrial label from the manufacturer and attach our label. We experimented with a ton of chemicals and Naptha was best. They make a release agent called "Sticker Off" for removing decals but it isn't very aggressive. |
