carb and choke cleaner

 

Carb and choke cleaner clouds the finish... I tried it. And so does brake cleaner..

 

look at Walmart, I had a spray can of stuff (no longer have it,) but it worked great I think it was a smaller yellow can

 

goo gone

 

+1, worked perfectly.

Used a hair dryer a little to help also with the sticker, like removing pin striping. Then goo-gone to remove the glue.

 

Heat gun and goo gone?

WD40 is also a good adhesive remover.

 

Heat gun to remove decal then WD 40 to get the adhesive. Just did mine this spring.

 

Goo gone didn't work, but I'm betting wd-40 will! Nice, I'm going to try it later

 

I read other posts and what not that said Goo Gone was the ticket to take off the adhesive, ya right I purchased some just for this and it didn't touch the sticky. WD 40 on a tee shirt rag and a little rubbing took it right off. The only stickers I left where the Can Am stickers on the finders, stickers on the engine/cvt housings and the outlander stickers on the gauge pod.

 

WD-40 is a good solvent for the sticker glue, however it might damage plastics (definately black plastics, I learned the hard way), not sur on other colours or painted finish. Test area before committing like you stated.

 

I've always used an aerosol spray called Big Orange citrus degreaser to remove decal residue. You can get it on Amazon for 15 bucks. Works unbelievably well. No elbow grease needed.

 

Heat gun and WD-40 always works for me.

You can tell lawyers and liability concerns as evidenced by the amount of warning labels. I remember there were 13-14 of them on each of my Can-Ams. Probably even a few more on the newest ones!

Probably should have one that says "If you sit on your brain, you shouldn't be riding this". Having said that, I fully agree some of the warning labels are important but that many?!?

 

stole the wife's hair dryer and used goo gone, worked fine for me.

 

If your in Ontario & plan on driving roads where legal or even across the roads by removing factory labels you have just made your ATV not legal to do so.

 

No truth to this. We are fully road legal here in Innisfil, never had an issue with Police. Also ride the roads up north from trail to trail, never had an issue.

They are idiotic lawyer stickers, nothing more. Mine all (with exception to clutch cover) came off after it came home.

Drive an ATV

 

First I've heard of anything like that. Can't cross a road without warning symbols? Tell me that law isn't actually enforced.

See Part 3, Sec's 11 (3) & (4)
As it's a relatively new law not sure if it's being enforced often.
When in Ontario anytime on a public road the HTA applies.

 

I just got done removing all of the warning decals and factory can am decals. They just pulled right off and Goo B Gone took off any excess glue in seconds. No hair drier, no wd40. Replaced with custom cut vinyl decals off a friend's vinyl cutter.

 

Wd40 definitely clouded my green can am plastics. So I went for the matte look at just did the rest. Anti reflective stealth now.

 

I googled ATving in Ontario and found this.


Q13 : What are the requirements for an ATV's overloading warning label?

Q14 : What are the requirements for an ORV's compliance label?

 

I tried a small one last night using Goof Off (little yellow can).

Took sticker off with heat gun and this ate adhesive off easily. Did dull the finish though. It does contain petroleum, so figured it might.

Will pick up some Goo Gone tonight.

 

I used a hair dryer and goo gone. Worked great. But I took them off of a brand new machine so the stickers weren't baked onto my atv yet. If your stickers have been baking onto it for a couple years it's going to be a pain no matter what

 

I wonder how WD-40 does with Camo plastics because the process for painting is different correct from the plain yellow ones. My Comamnder with Yellow plastics has held up well but not as well as my outlander with camo plastics..

 

I know this thread is a bit old, sorry.

But, I peeled the sticker off and used some carnuba wax on the adhesive that was left behind. It worked pretty well, didn't fade/dull the orange plastic. Didn't leave any major scratches that I have seen. I'll be trying it on some of the black plastic, this weekend maybe. I'll post up some pictures of the before/after if I remember it.

 

I tried rubbing alcohol but it didn't work at all so I used gas which worked great & didn't hurt my painted black XTP plastics http://www.can-amforum.com/forums/atv-tech-tips/53600-removing-warning-decals.html

 

It is to bad that Can Am doesn't use the same adhesive on their decals as they do in the warning stickers.

 

Agreed then they might stay on half of mine fell off

 

What does the 5th point mean then requiring compliance labels at your link? Not saying you'll be bothered though....I've been stopped by the ministry with many labels missing on my old rancher and they never checked that sh!t.

 

The only thing cops look for here that i have seen is 2 on a single seat atv. But i would nail them too.

Actually removing the two required stickers have a set fine of $85 each.

Schedule 52.1 ? Last Updated: September 1, 2015 | Ontario Court of Justice

17. Fail to display certification label as required 11 (3) $85.00
18. Fail to display overloading warning label as required 11 (4) $85.00

My main point is although they may not be enforced regularly lets not misinform people these laws don't exist. If they choose to roll the dice and get charged than it's their own fault.
