RE: Tank Emblem Removal
do not use a guitar string like some one told my friend 
.......what a disaster......I pryed mine off gently with a plastic knife but there are most likely other tools you could use. I did destroy the medallion though. Guess I wasn't gentle enough.I don't think you will need to paint....at least I didn't need to. Hope this helps.

RE: Tank Emblem Removal
I used dental floss.Just sawed between the emblem and the foam tape,leaving the tape on the tank.Then I just rolled the tape from one end.A little clean up of whatever was left over and it looked like there was never anyhting there.

RE: Tank Emblem Removal
Heat with a hairdryer and you should be able to pull the emblem off. It worked for the reflectors on my rear crash bars. You can then use a little "GOO GONE", liquid car wax or such to remove the glue residue.
Should be no need to repaint unless the bike has been in the weather a lot and the paint is faded where the emblem is not and new where the emblem was.
