PLASTIC GAS TANK IS EXPANDING. MINOR CRACKING IN CERTAIN AREAS OF TANK. CERTAIN PARTS NO LONGER FIT. TANK NO LONGER ALIGNS WITH FRAME. ACTUAL MOTORCYCLE IS 2006 MULTISTRADA, HOWEVER OTHER MODELS WITH PLASTIC TANKS HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *TR

2007 DUCATI GT 1000 SPORT CLASSIC MOTORCYCLE : GAS TANK IS MADE OF SOME SORT OF PLASTIC AND HAS DEFORMED SO MUCH THAT THE ATTACHMENT TO THE FRAME IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE AND ALLOWS THE TANK TO FLOP AROUND ON THE FRAME. THE PAINT HAS DISTORTED AND BUBBLED IN TWO PLACES AS WELL. I TOOK THE MOTORCYCLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY WILL REPLACE THE TANK UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER, THE NEW TANK I WILL RECEIVE IS THE EXACT SAME SPECIFICATION TANK AS THE ONE THAT HAS JUST FAILED. SO, I HAVE THIS TO LOOK FORWARD TO IN THE FUTURE AGAIN -- AND, OF COURSE, WORRY…

I HAVE A 2007 DUCATI GT 1000 THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW (NON-CURRENT) FROM OHIO MOTORCYCLE IN OAKWOOD, OHIO IN 2009. I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT MY STOCK POLYCARBONATE FUEL TANK IS "SPREADING". THAT IS TO SAY, THAT THE TANK HAS CHANGED IN SIZE. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE BECAUSE THE TANK IS HELD ON IN THREE PLACES. FIRST THERE IS A BOLT THAT SECURES THE TANK. SECOND, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THERE ARE TWO "C" SHAPED BRACKETS MOUNTED ON THE FRAME OF THE BIKE. ON THE UNDERSIDES OF THE FUEL TANK ARE TWO RUBBER KNOBS THAT FIT INSIDE THE C SHAPED BRACKETS…

MY 2007 DUCATI MULTISTRADA'S PLASTIC GAS TANK HAS EXPANDED AND IS STARTING TO SEEP FUEL NEAR THE EXHAUST. UPON SEARCHING MULTISTRADA.NET I FOUND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALMOST EVERY MULTISTRADA FROM MODEL YEARS 03 TO 09. DUCATI IS REPLACING SOME OF THE EXPANDED AND LEAKING TANKS, BUT NOT ALL OF THEM. I'VE SUBMITTED A CLAIM AND AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM AS TO IF THEY WILL REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TANK. REPORTS SAY THAT THE TANKS ARE EXPANDING BECAUSE THE PLASTIC IS REACTING TO THE ETHANOL IN OUR FUEL. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE REPLACEMEN…
