Decals

Anyone know where I can buy Suzuki Decals for my tank? Thanks in advance for your help.

Original decals probably through any dealer. If you are looking for something different that says suzuki, i know some dealers near me have them in their showcase under the register. I think most are for dirt bikes but hey, no reason cant be used for the GZ

Yea I went to the dealers today after getting my tag, title and insurance. They want $25.00 for each. These are OEM so I guess they can charge what they want. I'm going to look around online , I'm pretty sure I can find them a bit cheaper. Thanks

Give ebay a try, they have everything

My wifes GZ250 has the decal messed up on one side of the tank. She was interested in making it look right again but after reading that a replacement would be $25 maybe something different to dress it up would be less expensive and more custom (that would be her call).
What would be the best way to remove the decal without damaging the paint. I have done this befor on another bike by using the heat from a hairdryer and carefully scraping with a credit card then cleaning the excess adhesive with WD40.
Anyone have another possibly better method?

Now, i dont have my gz anymore, but arent the decals on the tank placed under the clearcoat? I know they were above it on the fender (because i kept getting wax stuck in the edges). Could be wrong.

My mistake. The decals are located on the right and left frame covers not the tank. It's an '06 model. The right decal seems to be wrinkled and peeling.

Oh, those. Should be able to just apply some heat to those (like a heat gun) and peel them off. Or carefully use a razor blade.

A little late to the party but decals can be removed using rubbing alcohol. Soak a paper towel with your choice of alcohol and press it against the decal until the glue softens. Peel off what you can and repeat. Repeat again and drink your choice of alcohol when job is done. Paper towels won't scratch and no hard scrapers are needed. Decals come off better in warmer temps too.

Depends. Some are some are not. My wifes has lots of clear coat and would require the tank to be repainted. My GZ just has the little Suzuki S and it dosen't have clear coat. I'm not sure it's a decal.
