Let it sit in the sun and get all nice and warm, take your fingernail and work it under a corner and lift. USe either Goo Gone or WD-40 to get the stick-um off after you pull the decals off.

The just peeling it off works great on any of the bikes molded from Surlyn. But do that on a painted S3 tank and you may wish you hadn't. You can separate the paint from the primer if you lift/peel. Yea, I know, this is the XB board....

Best to observe the park in sun part, and then get some dental floss and "saw" it off for painted bikes. The googone/WD40 is a fine suggestion too.
