Have you received your new Sickstyle Graphics decal and need help applying it?
Use the following step-by-step instructions for a perfect result:

Step 1: Preparation

Make sure your motorcycle is clean and dry. Thoroughly clean the surface to remove dirt, grease, and other contaminants. Use a mild cleaner and a soft cloth.
Remove disturbing parts such as the seat.

Step 2: Positioning
Temporarily place the motocross decal on the bike to check the positioning and ensure it fits well. You can temporarily secure the decal with tape to get a better idea of ​​how it will be positioned and where the stickers should be applied.

Step 3: Peel and stick
Remove the first piece of the motocross decal from the backing film. Starting at one corner, slowly peel off the film while applying the decal evenly to the motorcycle. If the sticker doesn't fit properly right away, it can be carefully peeled off and repositioned.

Step 5: Smooth and remove bubbles
Make sure there are no bubbles or wrinkles. Use your fingers or a squeegee to press the motocross decal evenly and firmly onto the motorcycle's surface. Use the heat of a hairdryer to adjust the film to curves/corners and remove any air bubbles or wrinkles. Press the decal firmly to ensure good adhesion.

Step 6: Review and rework
Carefully go over the entire motocross decal and check for any irregularities or poor adhesion. If necessary, you can run a squeegee or a soft cloth over the decal to further smooth it and ensure it's in place.

Step 7: Let it rest
Allow the motocross decal to sit for approximately 24 hours in warm temperatures before riding the bike. This is important to ensure the decal adheres completely and doesn't peel off.
