Hey VX, sounds stupid but I read that you just took off your warning stickers. Whats the best way to get the one off the tank? I've succesfully peeled at all corners, shredding them up so its nearly impossible at this point without sitting there for an hour...you'd think I'd be able to figure this kind of thing out, I'm just afraid of ruining the paint.
2005 Suzuki SV650
Get a yellow one....they're faster
There are a couple of ways, personally I just rubbed it with my thumb for a couple of minutes to warm up the glue and then peeled it off. Optionally you can use a hairdryer to heat it up even better.
Other options include using googone or other such products. Come to think of it WD40 might work too... dunno, but it makes sense to me.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

i had my mechanic do it w/ his heat gun and peeled it more easy.
you can try a blow dryer but be careful on the plastic parts.
Use a hair dryer to heat up the area that the sticker is on, then it should peel off easily. Then use WD-40 to cut the adhesive. If WD-40 doesn't work, Goof-Off will. Goof-Off will also eat the paint, so use it sparingly and quickly.
Verm needs to spend that money on training instead of an exhaust system. THEN, he'll be considered cool...

It's a lot more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.
I don't really like the look of that underseat exhaust either. The Yosh pipe he showed looks much nicer imho.
Speaking of which, I was at the dealer nearby and they were selling a GSX-R1000 with that exact pipe. Thing is, I could have SWORN it was brand new...did they just add the pipe at the dealership or is Suzuki putting a few out there with Yosh pipes already on 'em?
Replacing that can is not uncommon. My mate who has a K5 ordered his bike and got them to put on a Yoshi can before he picked it up. He refused to ride out of the bike shop with the stock can bolted to his bike.
The aftermarket cans are sometimes cheaper than an OEM can. Get a free aftermarket can from the dealer, think you got a good deal, they turn around and sell the OEM can for more than the aftermarket cost them.
