Guest bobbyo Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Just bought the bike with messy tank pad dots and my lovely wife has just bought be a new YZF R tank pad for my birthday! The question is, once I have peeled the dots off and a sticky mess is left behind, what do I get the sticky mess off with that won't damage the paintwork? Very basic question I know but don't want the paint to peel off too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sluggo Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hi, Either Deisel or kerosene will do the job without any paint damage. These two are also great for getting rid of squashed dry bugs from your fairing and engine. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
