Dude thats magic, I work as a pompist at a gas station and never thought about using gas to remove those stupid stickers! Thanks for that video, reminded me of how versatile diesel and fuel are!
Thanks for this. I need to remove a couple of those stickers from my new Honda NC750X. Personally, I would use baby oil. It works great for removing sticky stuff and smells a lot better than gasoline. I use it frequently removing sticker residue from mugs, etc. I found this out a long time ago after gluing something and not being able to get the glue off my fingers, then using baby oil to massage my legs.
I'm going to try that on my 2005 gsxr decal glue, that I've tried wd40, goo gone and tar and bug remover to no avail, will try the gas, thank you for the great tip
I only use WD-40 or some rubbing alcohol. At least that way your bike won't smell like gas😂 I also use Meguiars products, I have the bike detailing kit which they now sell for am arm and a leg
like the video but my case was different i have a old 1980 honda. took the pin strips off the gass tank.I made shure it was good and dry before sanding. it was a bugger to get off!. I had to use wd40. Now the reason i did this was because i am repainting the whole tank. I only hade 0000 ought steel wool. It was a verry tedious prossess but i agree with ya. Some times you can use a little gass. Lol i tried that and no results. These new stickers are not as bad as the old ones. And im shure that my case was due to it being so old and that it might have not been a garage kept bike.
Wish I saw this one single day ago. I was using windex with ammonia and it was about 90% effective. I'll try some gas tomorrow to get off the remaining 5-10%.
It should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway...... once you've used the first end of the workshop wipe DO NOT PUT IT BACK IN THE TANK! No double dipping. If any of the sticky residue gets in to your fuel tank, it could very possibly cause you a major headache. I'm not saying you did in the video, in fact I'm certain you didn't. However you didn't explicitly impart this crucial nugget of information to the great unwashed viewership, and as sure as eggs is eggs, some numpty will dunk his glue strewn rag in to the petrol tank over and over again then two days later be sat looking at his pristine paintwork whilst waiting for a recovery truck. I know 99.9% of your viewers would never dream of doing something so stupid, but there is always one. Sometimes it doesn't matter how big a hammer you use, you just cant fix stupid.
I have a sticker on my exhaust that is peeling a bit but I dont wan't to remove it. I just need some kind of heat resistant glue to restick the corner of the sticker back . Any suggestions ?
Wouldn’t rubbing alcohol be a little less harmful to the paint than petrol? Genuinely asking. It’s only once off so I’m sure either is fine. Anyone who bought the Yamaha R3 with those hideous Monster decals needs to see this video.
So I’m an idiot and over tightened my left side upper rear suspension stud....and stripped a good couple cms because I didn’t have a wrench that I could adjust the fpt.......now I don’t have enough stud to contain both the left suspension and this EOM rack that I got for my monkey....anybody know what to do? I called my dealership and they said the stud is fused with the actual frame because honda decided to make it this way and now.....I’m screwed....HELPPPPP
Agree, this extremely simple method could have been explained and demonstrated in 2-3 minutes rather than 10. Also, this was done on a new or newer bike. Only a small percentage of bikes on the road are new. What about older bikes with stickers hardened onto plastic panels? Sure isn’t going to peel off with a fingernail, already tried that. Several people have asked this question without any reply.
Personally I'd stay away from all solvents and spirits! All you need is your wife's/girlfriend's hairdryer, saliva, and your own God-given fingerprint. Warm it up, wet it down, rub it off! Easy! Great video as ever, though!

fuel is a paint thinner lollolololol
Sometimes the best solution are the simplest ones.
Thank you for sharing.
GREAT tip! Love it. Nothing works like the old school tricks. My Dad and I used to clean our greasy hands w/ gas when we worked on cars together.
Very bad for the skin
@@lel9460 I guess he's talking about old times too, when they had lead in the gas
I use wd-40. Or an extremely light amount of carburetor cleaner on a shop towel. Nice video.

It's a good way to get the glue off, I've done this for years,it works everytime 💯✌️😎
Thanks for the tip - it worked a treat. Can’t believe I left the stupid stickers on my bike for as long as I did 😀
Ive even had a used bike that still had the stickers on it. Those are the first things to go! Great video.
I'm going to try that on my 2005 gsxr decal glue, that I've tried wd40, goo gone and tar and bug remover to no avail, will try the gas, thank you for the great tip
Worked super good heavily recommended for newer bikes with stickers!!! Ty so much
Any magic tricks to remove the green rim decal on the 650s? I’ve tried a hot air gun and it doesn’t seem to work.
Came across from Jon’s moto garage pleased I did. Enjoyed the Video and a very handy hint.
I ride a superbike but I still love your content its brilliant new sub today :)

hello, i always use brake cleaner to remove sticker residue that works perfectly💪🏻.
Great video 👍🏻
Paint thinner or vpm naphtha will clean most stickers off of paint or clear coat. It wont harm the finish. World real well
will it make the shine dull after a while? That's my concern
Exactly the method i have always used, nice vid. thanks
Yooo this is a cheat code, thanks dude !!

Would it still work with 2 strokes since you got oil in the gas
Wish I saw this one single day ago. I was using windex with ammonia and it was about 90% effective. I'll try some gas tomorrow to get off the remaining 5-10%.
Perfect video, going to try this right away!
Lighter fluid ( like they use in zippo lighters) works good too.
A heating gun is a great tool just don’t warm to much so you don’t burn the paint
What do you suggest for plastic and aluminum? I’m looking at bikes right now and some knuckleheads put stickers everywhere.
This worked perfectly, thank you so much~!

Lol.. I’m sure it will happen, but if I went over all the stupid things that might happen in my videos, they would be hours long! 😂
Super helpful thanks for this!
Your voice is legendary.

Mortein (fly spray in Australia - not sure it's a thing overseas) does the business better than anything.
Can that work for plastics too??? L8kel
Does it matter if your bike has a matte finish paint?
Thank you for the video, Thumbs up.
Where do you get the blue rag from? Home Depot? Or a auto store?
Thanks man! That worked very well❤️
That's how I am going to do my monkey when I get home.
Thanks dude helped me so much👌🏻
what if mine been there for 15 years and is hard asfak?
Thank you very much best idea by far, worked very well
Worked perfectly 👌🏼
It works .. thanks for this video..
Thanks for this 😊
Saved the day
I used goo gone. On my 2021 Yamaha R3 and it left a hazy spot the size of my palm...
Thanks a lot !
It worked

I tried alcohol wipes, but they didn’t seem to do any good.
i was thinking about steam
Hello there , great channel bud. Now would this method work/safe on denim paint ?
I used this method on my Vulcan, it has a matte finish like denim. Worked great. Just don’t push too hard with the cloth.
Gas Works Garage Right on thank u !!

Won’t acetone do that also?
Or rubbing alcohol
Let it sit in the sun before you start.
Expert 💙
i use wd40 .. works grate
The regular "goof off" is garbage, use the one with "pro strength remover" on label. Not all goof of is equal.
Thank you !
Just use wd40 very easy and simple
Thank you!!!!!
Nice video but yeah, a bit long winded. Probably nice to watch while actually working on the motor

It's a lot easier with a heat gun on low. Peels rightoff!
nice bike.

Warm it up, wet it down, rub it off!
Easy!
Great video as ever, though!
DO NOT DO THIS LOL
THIS IS GOING TO RUIN YOUR PAIN 100%
one word " WD40"
