I removed mine from the Candy Glory (love that name, sounds like a..............wait, let's not go there) after a year. A year on it is possible to see where the stickers were. Needs close inspection and very faint for sure and getting there, but if your fussy take heed.
I found out when I peeled the stickers off my new to me, year old bike.
Cheers

That was my experience, too. I removed the stickers at about the one year mark. If you're going to remove the stickers, sooner is a bit better than later.

Since I don't really know how old my tank is, the stickers are staying.

Please be advised that it is a violation of EPA regulations to remove Federally-mandated safety and warning stickers applied at the time of manufacture. Penalties for removing such stickers can result in fines, incarceration in Federal prison, and having your pee-pee whacked by the bailiff.

Mine are in Japanese anyway.

You can also tell your Federal Waring Label Police that I also removed my "DO NOT REMOVE" tags from my mattress and pillows too!

+1 on Goo Gone. Worked like a charm.

I'm keeping mine on.
A few years ago I came across a parked 'Montgomery Wards/Riverside' motorcycle that still had it's stickers. That was impressive, like a beautifully kept bike that still has it's original paint in excellent condition.
When I sold my Speed Triple to make room in the garage for the CB1100, it still had the original break-in sticker on it (along with all the others). I could definitely say that that bike was in 'showroom' condition :-).
