The best way (IMO) is to heat them up with a hair dryer / heat gun, then get a finger nail under a corner and slowly peel them off. Most of mine came off in one piece, but one of them (can't remember which one) was a real PITA, came off in billion pieces & left a lot of residue.
I used white spirits & a soft cloth to get the residue off

Leave it in the sun for a bit to warm them up then get a hairdryer to keep heating them up and peel them away. Once they are hot and the glue starts melting the decals come off relatively easy.

For the left over glue gunk left on the panels you can use Eucalyptus Oil or Ti-Tree oil which disolves it and it just wipes off.

Same as what Leviathan said really

Not sure with yours, but Suzuki definitley do that on other models.

I've read a few posts in other forums and seen the work of guys removing the tank decals and they were certainly clear coated.
The other guys stripped back and repainted the tanks and some left them on.

At the risk of a thread hijack, nice avatar islanddrift!! Any history behind it, you have to be cautious with that sort of thing.

I recognize the Masons tools in the back so are you a Pirate Mason?
Is this an official logo?
As to the original post blow dryer and fingernail then wr-40 to remove the residue. The only problem is with a bike that has any amount of time in the sun the paint may fade then when you remove the decals the paint under is fresh and un faded.

I find the best idea is to use your hairdryer, you know, the one you use to do your hair in the mornings. Not only do you get to remove the stickers, but you look real pretty as well. It is important to look your best.

They are a total PITA. I don't think any of mine came off in one piece. Used hairdryer et al..
Patience and don't be tempted to get out a blade!
