THE GAS TANK DEFORMED SO MUCH THAT INSTEAD OF A THREE POINT FIT, IT IS NOW ONLY HELD IN PLACE BY THE BOLT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE SEAT. THE TANK CAN EASILY BE LIFTED UP ON THE FRONT OF THE BIKE. THE TANK HAS ALSO DEVELOPED 'DIMPLES' ON THE SURFACE (AS IN LARGE 'DENT'). BASICALLY THE TANK IS COLLAPSING. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD GAS TANK REPLACEMENT FOR THIS BIKE. DUCATI COVERS IT UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, IT IS GUARANTEED THAT THIS ISSUE WILL RE-OCCUR. CURRENTLY THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO HAVE THE NEW TANK COATED BY A THIRD PARTY. THE COST FOR THIS IS NOT COVERED BY DUCATI (APPROX. $300) AND THIS PREVENTATIVE STEP WILL EFFECTIVELY VOID THE WARRANTY. THE COATING OF THE TANK MAY OR MAY NOT PREVENT THIS ISSUE FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. BUT SHOULD THE SAME ISSUE OCCUR AGAIN A REPLACEMENT MAY NO LONGER BE COVERED BY DUCATI. *TR
THE GAS TANK HAS SPREAD / SWELLED. YOU CAN PICK THE GAS TANK UP OFF OF THE FRAME BECAUSE THE CLIPS NO LONGER HOLD IT IN PLACE. ALSO, WHEN YOU TURN THE HANDLEBARS FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT THE RUB INTO THE GAS TANK. THE TANK ALSO HAS BUBBLES FORMING IN PAINT FROM THE SPREAD / SWELL. AS OF 4/1/2012 DEALER STATED DUCATI NORTH AMERICA IS REFUSING TO REPLACE TANK UNDER CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. *TR
