Depends on how it's attached.

Some bikes have the kick stand either bolted or clamped to the chain stays, just behind the bottom bracket - in which case you just undo the bolt and it'll come right off. You might need a socket wrench or a big Allen key to get to it.

Other bikes have the stand clamped/bolted to the left rear dropout.

If that's the case, you need to undo both the bolts on the stand, and often also the left side wheel axle nut to get the stand back on.

Then there are some bikes, Townies and Cruisers that might have the stand actually welded to the frame. In this case, they have to be cut out. Usually not worth the effort.

Then there are stands that just clamp around one of the chain stays. These are fairly pointless, as they tend to rotate if used whenever the bike is loaded. But they'll unscrew fairly easily.

Most race type dirt bikes do not have kick stands because it sticks down below the frame and will be damaged or ripped off the first time the skid plate hits a rock or log.To install one:Get one from a wreck or the dealer. You will most likely have to weld the mounting tab to the frame and then bolt it on and attach the hold up spring.

How do you take stickers off a bike?

To take stickers off of a bike you peel them off. Sometimes stickers are covered with clearcoat, in which case they can't be removed unless you sand them off and repaint the bike. In which case you're better off covering them over with a single-colour vinyl decal or something.
