Default Removing original stickers EXCR 08

The original fender stickers on my EXCR 08 seem impossible to get off?
There is nowhere to peel and i've tried using petrol.

The swing arm and rear fender stickers just peeled off

is there something i don't know about these other?
any advice on diff chemicals to try or maybe it's common
to go over the top of the old one?

Any advice would be awesome

cheers!

so basically what i have found out is no. if it is anything like the sxf the tank shroud decals (im guessing these are the ones your talking about) are clear coated and sunk into the plastics.... so if you really want you can sand them down to the plastics. Or do what i did and just clean them and put the decals over top cause they will be trashed after a couple races anyways

Use a hair dryer or heat gun (on low).

I've done this a lot (as my dirt bikes tend to crash for some reason).

I agree. I'm putting new decals on my CR125. I'm using a heatgun on low and it's doing the job well
