    Use a hairdryer mate to take it off then use some WD40 to take any sticky residue left of the tank.

    Then wash clean the tank ready for whatever your puting on next.

    Hair dryer. Then either Autoglym Tar remover or lighter fluid both tried and tested by me and the best way, same routine for the pesky tyre pressure stickers on the swing arm.

    Hair dryer nice and hot then lift the edge and use the dryer as you peel, shouldn't leave any residue but if it does use wd40 like others have said
    Simples....
