I'm pretty sure you asked this question a few months ago because i got a e-mail that said you sent me a private message about this and when i signed in to respond i couldn't figure out how to reply so sorry about that.
Well, to start off i used a razor blade and lightly cut around "ZX-14" and "Ninja" barely even cutting the decal so it wouldn't damage the paint or plastic and i left a eighth inch or so around the lettering, then just lifted a corner and started pulling. There's a technique i figured out so it wont leave sticky residue and the trick is lift a corner and pull hard at a very low angle to where it doesn't even really come off and then slowly increase the angle you pull at just enough that it is coming off slow. Sometimes the decal will tear while your doing this and just lift and keep going, there will be sticky left on the fairings in places no matter how good you are so i just used my finger to rub it until it started rolling up into little balls and coming off and also used a spray bottle with water and a sock to finish cleaning sticky residue and smears. This doesn't mess up the paint, i was tempted to use Goo-Gone to get the sticky off but i didn't want to use chemicals if i didn't have to. Whatever you do, do not try to remove the ZX14 or Ninja logo and reapply it because these decals stretch alot.
I love the way it looks without the decals and don't regret it at all. It was extremely nerve racking trying to decide if i should pull them off or not because i didn't see pictures of what it looks like without decals.
Goodluck!
I also am trying to decide if i should get my wheels painted the same black color as the bike but i just cant picture if it would look good or not, suggestions anyone?
