I have a Silver Aprilia RS125 and I want to remove one of the decals that were stuck on when I bought it second hand. However, I've got no clue how to do this properly and safely without damaging the paintwork etc. If someone could tell me how I could do this I'd appreciate it!

Thanks
From JW

A hair dryer should warm the adhesive a little

Hair dryer to soften it ... WD40 to get rid of the adhesive Smile

All the best ... Barry

A safer way is to pour boiling water over it from a kettle. No chance of damaging the paint from heat, and it softens the vinyl up nicely.
