Consumer Description

2006 DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC; RE: DEFECTIVE GAS TANK, SWELLS AND DEFORMS UNTIL IT EFFECTS STEERING (ACTUALLY GETS IN WAY OF HANDLE BAR AND COMES OFF FRONT MOUNTS LEAVING ONLY ONE BOLT HOLDING DOWN THE REAR). SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AS MANY OWNERS OF THIS MODEL ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING ON ONLINE FORUMS. DUCATI WILL REPLACE A TANK ONCE IT SWELLS OR DEFORMS TO A CERTAIN LEVEL BUT THE REPLACEMENT WILL SOON START TO DO THE SAME. *TR
