Title: GS500F Owners....
Post by: robo on July 12, 2004, 10:11:07 AM
Has anyone started removing their warning labels off the fairings?

I've done searches on how to remove them off the gas tank, I was wondering if i can use the hair dryer technique as well?

I removed mine, used a flat blade razor, but be careful not to scratch anything, hairdryer will work, to remove the sticky residue, just use some goo gone or any other adhesive remover available at local auto parts stores.

Took my labels off the day of delivery...didn't use a razor..they pretty much just peeled right off using my fingernail to get it started...very little residue, and used Goo Gone for the rest. Good luck!

Hair dryer.  All but one came off like a charm...they really, really, really wanted me to be aware that I shouldn't fasten things inside the fairing, I guess.  But once I committed that advice to memory and applied a little extra elbow grease the sticker was history.

I too used a hard dryer.  All but one came off without a problem, for that one I used alittle goo-gone to get the remaining glue off.
