I've never removed a factory sticker from any bike I've ever owned. One time I removed a bunch of advertising type stickers off a bike I bought tho.....they came off wuth a hair dryer np...didn't leave ANY residue at all. From what I've read the factory stickers can be a pain....and guys have scratched up the paint removing themstill waiting for the "easy" way
I can say with some conviction that the factory sticker on the Busa fuel tank is nothing like any decal I have ever removed... took me a good 45 minutes to get rid of that little sucker... it came apart and left tons of goo behind...I've never removed a factory sticker from any bike I've ever owned.

Steve you are the man! Bought one of these tools from DJV Merchandise and all I can say is WOW..I have the EASY answer to this --available through your local autobody supply store.The tool is called a stripe eraser made by astro pneumatic tool co.I have been using these for many years to remove stripes,vinyl graphics,and yes the pesky POS gas tank stickers.I do it for bikes all the time at our shop,You can always tell where guys have been "picking at them " around the edges.I can remove the sticker perfectly in less than 1 minute!!heres a pic
