As for the tank, most branding is done under layers of clear coat, so, only way to get them off is to sand off then a respray.





hope that helps

Sand them off!? You're joking right? Yes it helps - by giving me a baseline to better judge your responses to other posts.

Will WD40 hurt the paint on the tank? I don't mean will it hurt it in a relative sense when compared to sanding, but more in an absolute sense wherein people who are concerned about the appearance of their bike wouldn't typically recommend it.

geezuz christ mate, what ya think I get my jollies by tricking people into throwing paint stripper on their bikes for sh.its and giggles :frusty:


I might get on here for a few laughs from time to time but when I offer advise on riding or maintaining bikes I always do it sincerely and from my own experiences, I would never intentionally be the catalyst for some one putting them selves in harms way or damaging their bikes.


I am shocked at the negative, hurtful, and insulting response you afforded me, when my intention was to help you to the best of my knowledge. I did not want to see you scratching and heating your tank in the off chance your tank decals where like mine laying under god knows how many clear coats.


I forgive you, and I can only hope that this small infraction and negative judgment you made toward my original intentions has served as a vessel of education on how to approach others whom you dont know and their heartfelt advise they offer you to ensure you have a safer and more satisfactory riding pleasures and enjoyments.


yours lovingly

A thousand pardons oh wise and gracious one. Never again will I look askance at your boundless wisdom, and far be it from me to doubt the sincerity of your words. For I know now that your advice is good, your knowledge boundless and your intentions pure. Oh that I could gain your favour... but alas, I fear I have grieved you too deeply.

Oh cut the "crumb". It sounds like you might have know what you were talking about after all. Thanks for trying to help.

ps. hey cool. this bulletin board actually replaces the word c r a p with the word "crumb" all on its own. Who knew?
