I remove the little warning stickers with a little heat - carefully wiht a hair drier or heat gun, then follow up with goof-off or goo-gone, and rubbing alcohol.

The method described above works well but if the decal was put on before a coat of clear you end up with noticeable lines where the decal once was.

WD-40 breaks down sticker glue also

A heat gun set on low (The kind you use to shrink shrink- wrap on soldered joints.) Peal up a corner first and bring the heat gun in slow until the adhesive gets soft. If you get too close the plastic gets too soft and tears. Chase the adhesive side of the plastic from 6" to 9" while you pull up on the sticker. If you melt the sticker start over. This scoot was covered with terrible urban landscape art put on crooked at the factory. I removed all of them in about 20 minutes.

A blow drier worked great on mine , the decals on my front fairing had raised lines around the edges , I was gonna sand them down before applying the new decals but I just covered up what I could . Unless your looking for it you really don't notice .
