Okay...I picked up this 2000 YZ 125 today and man...I love it. Feels SO tight and rides great.

I want to clean it up a bit, and de-clutter it from the guy that had it before me.

The old background stickers (number plate stickers) were already peeled off, but there is a LOT of ugly residue from the old glue that he didn't get off.

What will get it off? I tried soaking it in PB Blaster, but that didn't work. Any other house-hold chemicals that will make that stuff come off easily?

91% Isoprophyl Alcohol...nuff said.

This is also good to clean anything prior to placing decals/stickers etc...

Goo Gone (citric acid) also works great.

4 1/2 inch electric grinder will take the residue off.
