I've done this many times and it's pretty easy. You can use a hair dryer to warm up the decal and then use fishing line to get under it. Hold the fishing line as if you were flossing your teeth and use a light seesaw motion to remove the decal. Once the decal is off you can use goo gone to remove any glue residue. Clean the area then wax.
How old is the bike? If it's new it should be a piece of cake to get the decal off. If it's older it may be tougher and you run the risk of having a decal shadow on the paint from sun exposure.
i don't think it was clear coated.. the clear part that came off seemed like part of the sticker itself. the image is still on the tank.. and sticky. i'm gonna try to get it off tonight.
my new bike is a 2007 triumph bonneville black!! i love it!!
