Get some bug and tar remover. Works great.
No worries, I used Goo gone citrus, it worked great and did not damage the paint job.

+1.

After being parked in the sun all day in temps approaching 100 degrees, it occurred to me that it might be a good time to attempt decal removal. The decals came off easily enough, but as noted by the OP, left most of the adhesive on the tank. Drove home and got out the Goo Gone, applied to a soft cloth, the adhesive came off very easily.

Same here.. took like 2 minutes to remove everything.
i use honda polish on errrthang, that stuff is amazing
One advice I can give is to use a simple rubber eraser on the adesive rests on the tank.
Should not harm the paint :)
I used honda polish. Took a couple tries to get it all.
heat gun (lightly) and Goo Gone :thumbup:

I took mine off yesterday with just a lint free rag and some rubbing alcohol. I've only had the bike for a week and the squares from the stickers are still visible in the paint. Guess I should have taken them off sooner.

My friend told me
"dude, when the tank will be all scratched you won't see it no more :p"

Funny friends, don't you think?
:rolleyes:

take some rubbing alcohol to it or some honda polish, it'll come off eventually

Seriously man... Goo Gone. It'll take you two minutes to get those off.
i did the alcohol and lint free rag thing...took a couple tries but you cant even begin to see where the stickers used to be anymore

I used the same. Note, dont use a papertowel tho, it slightly scratches the paint. Try to get a terry cloth or some microfiber cloth.

Goo Gone works great tho.
i just used duct tape for the residual adhesive and waxed the area after... looks like nothing was ever there.

WD40 and a shop rag. 30 seconds and done. No residue or sticker image left.
