Just a quickie - can anyone advise what is the best way to remove a tank pad without damaging the paintwork please? I don't really like the one that was on my bike when i bought it and would like to replace it.
Cheers!

Use a hair dryer to heat it up and melt the glue then peel it off. There will be a sticky residue left, I use brake cleaner or a strong degreaser to get it off normally.
