Exactly, I love repping Yamaha.

Went to Daytona bike week and honestly, the Kawasaki clothing were better than Yamaha... I couldn't find any Yamaha that I liked.

I wanted a Black shirt with Yamaha in blue letters, plain and simple but they didn't have it.

I took mine off and think it looks great without them! They are a pain in the rear though. You pull the coin logo off and it leaves a felt like residue on the tank. I just used duct tape to take it off. It takes a while but it will eventually pull it all up. I think Dart actually made a video of himself doing it on his bike.

Here is what mine looks like all stripped as its the same color of yours, so you can judge if you like it or not.

I still havent got around to getting them off on mine either. I will do it soon though. Got lazy after all the work taking the other ones off! I still have my VA sticker on my swingarm Think I may just go out to the garage and do it now... haha

 

[mchury]

Well, there is some useful info on there, more than just "warning, only put gas in the gas tank"!
Quick check on tire pressure, loads, etc.

 

[mchury]

yea i did notice that but i figured the shop where i bought the bike should know all that info anyway

 

[vitrox]

that info is the same on every bike, just go look at someone elses.

 

[dart1963]

reread...
just pointing out the gas tank sticker was really, really, really useless (a bit o' sarcasm.), at least the one on the swing-arms have some useful info... but once you have a clue, or feel like looking it up, the info's not much more useful.

I've debadged several vehicle and trust me, the easiest way you're going to find to taking those off is to use some fishing line (I've also heard of using dental floss) and pull it back and forth in a sawing motion to cut through the thick adhesive.

Best thing I've used to remove the glue is zippo lighter fluid: soak a section of a rag with it hold it on the glue and either twist or move in a circular motion and the stuff will start disolving and come off fairly easy. Then wash and wax that section to protect it.

Here is a little article I wrote about doing this to my truck (or any other vehicle). Ive used fishing line and dental floss. Wear gloves as it can cut right into your hand!
