Consumer Description

2005 DUCATI MULTISTRADA FUEL TANK EXPANDED TO SUCH A POINT IT COULD NOT BE REMOVED TO PERFORM THE REQUIRED ENGINE SERVICES. TANK WAS REPLACED 07-09. NEW TANK IS SHOWING SIGNS OF SAME PROBLEM. OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED LEAKING FUEL. IT IS CRITICAL THAT THE FUEL TANK BE REMOVABLE TO MAINTAIN THE ENGINE COMPONENTS. THE DEALER SAYS THAT DUCATI WILL REPLACE THE TANK AGAIN BUT THE QUESTION IS HOW MANY TIMES WILL THEY DO IT AS THE MODEL IS NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION. *TR
