Hi I'm new to this forum.
Just bought a new GSX s 100GT Suzuki to replace my Hayabusa , love the bike. Would anyone have advice on how to remove the warning stickers off the petrol tank.

I scrapped mine off with a plastic razor blade and then used Permatex decal and adhesive remover to get the remaining residue off. Worked like a charm and didn't damage the paint. It would be nice if they stopped putting those stickers on.
Welcome. I kinda like the stickers. I don't know why, just makes it look factory fresh I guess. My 2003 TL1000R still has them on lol.
I use a hair dryer to loosen the adhesive and slowly peel them off. WD40 will remove any adhesive left behind and wont damage your paint. About twice a year after I wash my bike I wipe down the frame with a clean rag with WD40 on it then clean it off with another clean rag. Makes the bike look brand new again.
I use Maxima SC1 on the whole bike. It makes it look showroom new each time and lasts quite a while. I've had the bike for two years and have only washed it with soap and water once when it was nearly new. It helps that I only ride in fair weather, so it never gets very dirty. Some microfiber towels and detailing spray to clean it, then follow that up with the SC1 and a couple more microfiber towels. I use it on every part of the bike, including the engine. It makes everything look incredible.I use a hair dryer to loosen the adhesive and slowly peel them off. WD40 will remove any adhesive left behind and wont damage your paint.

Patience. It can take a while. That is the first thing I did when I got my new bike home. They are put on with industrial adhesive and designed to be permanent.
Heat them up with a hair dryer and peel a little at a time. Clean the glue up with Goo-Gone or equivalent.
