2015 viper the graphics are all bubbled up on the side panels.

Very little heat and a squeegee

I’ll try some heat and squeegee The bubbles were not there when new, after some use the bubbles showed up. I’m guessing hear from the motor caused the bubbling

Not exactly sure what could have caused your bubbling graphics. If it was the engine heat then you might want to solve that issue and then move on to the graphics repair.
If you want to remove the graphic try using a T-stat regulated heat-gun and with the right amount of heat the graphic and the adhesive will come off together. If your graphics are factory installed there may not be a fix for them as the adhesive is probably no longer sticky under the bubbles. Try removing the graphics and see how you like the new look.

If the squeegee/heat method doesn't quite work perfectly (getting the bubble out the edge of the decal) worst case i've had luck with other projects by taking a razor and making a tiny tiny nick in the bubble then massage with some heat and your finger or thumb

Yeah mine bubbled also on my 2017. I figured that if Yamaha wanted to advertise their sled they would make graphics that actually stuck. I peeled mine off after failed attempts trying to get them to stick.
