I used Alcohol on mines with a small 100% cotton rag.
Just to let you know, the search funtion works really well for this. I think that there is like 3 or 4 threads on removing the decals now. But a lot of people use a blow dryer to get the decal warm and then peel it off, and I have seen lighter fluid, goo gone, windex, all kinds of methods. Just search it and you will see.
I used a blow dryer got it warm, peeled it off, and used goo gone. You have to let the goo gone sit on there for about 5-10 minutes to let it soak in really good and then wipe it off. Then I cleaned the fairings with windex and made sure I got it all. It is simple.

and if you use any chemicals... don't forget to put a good coat of wax on after

1) Heat gun or blow dryer.
2) 2lb fishing line.
3) Goo Gone for residue clean up
4) Patience
..... a beer or 12 :iconbeer:

My grandma's old trick - peanut butter. It has enough grit in it to free up the adhesive, and the oil takes away the stickiness, all this without a scratch. It works faster on sticker glue than decal glue, but I used it on my bike and it worked.

And speaking of decals,what do you guys think of this as a alternative to the STAR on the Yellow 6R,,,, could pass for stock.

I just removed mine a couple minutes ago. The first one i got anxious and I started peeling it off and not waiting for the decal to warm up so it left a little residue. The second one was just about perfect. Goo Gone and a towel laying around took care of the residue. Then Pig Spit for a good ol' shine!

Please try a little lighter fluid. When I had my tank decal on, I used a heatgun (carefully, just enough to heat the decal up ... use a hairdryer as an alternative), peeled, then put ligher fluid on a cloth and it wiped right up. Seriously, super easy and took a total of about two minutes and you couldn't tell there was ever a decal on there. Use a regular cleaner after that just to get any residual kerosene off, then use a quick spray wax. No lines, just a clean spot. I did this several months ago and to this day it sparkles with no evidence of a decal being there before.

All the decals are off, but the residue wont come off. I put Goo Gone on it but it doesn't seem to do anything
Im more than a little cautious about putting lighter fluid on my plastics
