The smaller stickers are a breeze.

Hair dryer, Heat them up, Slowly peel while heating them, Then Goo Gone to remove any left over glue.

As for the Big Kanjis, Mine were a Bi**h Heated them up with the hair dryer, started to peel them off, The decal itself came off but the majority of the glue remained, and it was hard as hell to get off, Goo Gone, WD40, Veg oil, Different type of Goo Gone, 3M Adhesive remover, I finally got them off but I still took fairings to a local shop to have them buff them out. Love the look but it was a lot of work. Others have not had this much problem, Not sure why I did, Mine is also an 07.

got it, soaked in wd-40 all day with paper towels.. and used rags and 3m remover to assist and got it all off... one fairing took like 1-2 hours, you can see a slight color difference where the sticker was though :/
