btw- I think the sage greenish is the 2006 but I could be wrong, It doesn't look like the concept to me...
Please post a pic of this sage greenish pista of which you speak.
Whether or not to remove the entire clearcoat or just in the area of the decals is up to you. There is the chance that if you only remove the area of the decals that there might be a noticable difference in finish. If you don't care about that, then go right ahead. A friend of mine removed his and he just stripped the entire bike down. It's an easy enough process.
As far as reapplying the clearcoat when you're done, it probably isn't the worst idea. I'm not sure how much riding in the rain you'll do, or how prone to rust the Pista frame is but to be on the safe side, I'd reapply a clearcoat or, probably better yet, get a professional to do so.
