Took them all off. Warning stickers, Ninja, ZX10. "Kawasaki" obviously stays on the tank. They all came off easily with a little heat from a hair dryer. The only ones that did not cooperate very well were the ZX10 on the tail section. Those took some time since the glue stayed on while the stickers came off. Some "Goo be gone" citrus type stuff too the glue off without damaging or scratching the paint. Just took some elbow grease. I do think it looks better. And it's kinda fun with non-Kawasaki people not really knowing if it's a 6 or 10.

K - The evil part of me wonders how it would look with CBR1000RR stickers on it.

Oooooo
I took the Ninja stickers off the first week I had the bike.
i wanted to keep the ZX10R stickers so everyone knew it was a new 10.
However after looking at this pic I think I will take mine off as well.
It looks clean!

I'm the same way about the ZX-10 stickers.
I plan on keeping them on untill the bikes become commonplace. It's got some bling factor to it still.

Stickers, reflectors and rear fender all met an unglorious fate within 15 minutes of arriving home from the dealer (through the rain - that never happens in SoCal, except for 3 days in a row when I get/ride my new bike).

took all stickers and reflectors off the first day.... the ZX-10R stickers were an absolute bitch to get off. Even with Goo-Be-Gone, the stickey stuff hung in there. I dug up some highly concentrated citrus stuff from under the sink and finally got all of it off with lots of rubbing. Just glad the stuff didn't eat the paint...

Cool. At least I know now that XL didn't put some bionic glue on my ZX10 stickers just to spite me....

D,
Did your oil light come on when you rode it home in the rain? Mine did. I used rubbing alcohol on the sticky stuff when I pulled mine off. It came off pretty easy.

I rode mine 130 miles in a downpour. Pretty much sucked ass.

I like to keep the ZX10R stickers on so I don't get street challenged by every 600 trying to waste my time and DMV points.
