Greetings:

Ah, 25 year-old stickers: A nightmare to remove. Try this:

Soak a paper towel in a low-volatility solvent like mineral spirits or paint thinner. Get a plastic bag and tape it like a kangaroo pouch over the sticker area you want to loosen and remove. Slip the solvent-soaked paper towel into the pouch, then tape over the top of the pouch. Walk away for a couple of hours. With any luck the sticker adhesive hasn't yet petrified and fossilized, and will have relaxed its grip on the sticker paper.

WARNING: Depending on the solvent, you could soften or even damage your plastics/paint. Try this at your own risk.

thanks for the tip wheelman, dont think ill try that if it could damage my paints or plastics, its been sujjested to me using boiling soapy water, plastic scraper and wd40 ? so ill try that first. if not sandpaper will be coming out and the whole scoot will be getting a respray

Lighter fluid works very well and shouldn't damage the plastics. You just need the heat slightly sometimes with a hair drier to be able to lift a corner and get the lighter fluid under there, and sometimes you just need to get an edge lifted and carefully peel a little bits at time and clean the residue off with the lighter fluid. Soap and water will do nothing for sticker goo but make a mess.
