Does anyone have a suggestion for removing the small stickers with fuel rating warnings, etc. on top of the tank, safely?

Heat them with a blow dryer and be patient or you will put tiny scratches in the paint.

I removed all of the stickers on my bike the day after I bought it. Couldn't stand them.
De-badging.
I just used my fingernail to peel up a corner, then carefully pulled the sticker off.
Sometimes a small amount of residue was left over, so I gently used a little Goof Off on a soft rag to finish the job.
A few coat's of Zymol on the paint, and I have a nice clean tank.

Halogen

500 watt halogen work light...5 minutes heat. Works better if you spray on some water or solvent as the heat builds. Peels right off.
Avoid more than 5 minutes unsupervised....those halogens get flammably hot.
