Consumer Description

GAS TANK IS MADE OF A NYLON POLYMER AND IT IS BEGINNING TO WARP. THE BIKE HAS LESS THAN 3,200 MILES ON IT. THE WARPING OF THE TANK COULD LEAD TO FUEL LEAKAGE, AND HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHERS. DUCATI IS SELECTIVELY REPLACING THESE TANKS, BUT IN SOME CASES (MINE) BEING DENIED BECAUSE THERE IS NO LEAK (YET). *TR
