Naz, I agree it is quite atrocious to say the very least... Do you know of any good ways to remove it without damaging the paint paint underneath? I would take it back to the dealer and have them remove their shameless plug but I'm not too sure of the competency.

I'm not sure how it's held on. But I assume it's a cheap vinyl sticker. Just peel with your fingers carefully, and slap some wax on after to remove any residue. Simple fix!

May be to make things easier, heat it with a hairdryer before to soften the glue. If some glue remains, use gasoline on a rag to remove it, then immediatly clean with soapy water.

Thanks to Turbo and Naz and some free time at work, the BIG A$$ dealer decal has been removed!!!

I took the time to drive around the country roads in the areas to find out what the X can and can't do and I must say WOW !!! This is one AMAZING machine!!!

I agree, I would like to change the current wheel setup out with the 20" 168 staggered setup. Possibly in something like Ferric black. Anyway, that'll be a late summer project or I may just give myself an early B-Day/ Graduation present.
