GAS TANK LIFTS OFF THE BIKE DUE TO WARPING. IN A CRASH IT WOULD FLY OFF THE BIKE. *TR

Owner report 10296342 · 2009-12-18 (December 18, 2009)
I PURCHASED A 2009 DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC GT ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO FROM MUNROE MOTORS IN SAN FRANCISCO. THAT MODEL IS PRONE TO THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK DEFORMING AND SPREADING, CAUSING IT TO SOMETIMES BECOME LOOSE ENOUGH TO ALMOST FALL OFF. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED TO MY MOTORCYCLE. THE MOTORCYCLE HAS BEEN USED NORMALLY AND CARED FOR. I WILL BE CONTACTING MUNROE MOTORS TO REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX SO IT LIKELY WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THE DANGERS OR HAVING A LOOSE FUEL TANK ON A MOTORCYCLE ARE OBVIOUS. IT IS A PLAS…

Owner report 10296645 · 2009-12-21 (December 21, 2009)
BOUGHT BRAND NEW DUCATI GT1000 IN JULY 2009. IN AUGUST I NOTICED THE GAS TANK HAD "SPREAD" TO THE POINT WHERE THE RIGHT SIDE IS NO LONGER MOUNTED. YOU CAN LIFT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE GAS TANK UP AND DOWN. THE TANK IS ONLY BOLTED NOW IN BACK AND THE LEFT SIDE SLIDES AROUND IN ITS HOLDER/MOUNT/BRACKET. *TR

Owner report 10307700 · 2010-02-09 (February 9, 2010)
2009 DUCATI GT 1000 FUEL TANK MOUNT PROBLEMS: THE FUEL TANK HAS APPARENTLY STRETCHED OUT IN WIDTH TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT THE FRONT MOUNT NO LONGER SECURES THE TANK. AS A CONSEQUENCE THE TANK IS LOOSE AND HELD IN PLACE ONLY BY THE REAR SECURING BOLT, WHICH IS TOTALLY INADEQUATE AND WASN'T DESIGNED TO HOLD THE TANK ON ITS OWN. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP. *TR

Owner report 10334092 · 2010-06-01 (June 1, 2010)
I OWN A 2009 DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC GT1000. I HAVE PUT 2,500 MILES ON THE BIKE AND THE FUEL TANK BOWED OUTWARD AND NO LONGER ATTACHES TO THE FRAME OF MY BIKE. CAUSING THE FUEL TANK TO BECOME EXTREMELY WOBBLY AND LOOSE. THIS BIKE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON DEFECT WITH DUCATI FUEL TANKS. *TR

Owner report 10368363 · 2010-11-30 (November 30, 2010)
IN JUNE, I PURCHASED A 2009 DUCATI GT1000 BRAND NEW FROM A DEALER IN FT. MYERS, FLORIDA. UPON DELIVERY, THE GAS TANK WAS COMPLETELY DEFORMED SO THAT THE RUBBER BUMPERS INTENDED TO SECURE THE TANK TO THE FRAME NO LONGER SAT IN THE FRAME'S BRACKETS. CONSEQUENTLY, THE TANK IS MERELY RESTING ON THE FRAME, UNSECURED TO THE BIKE. THOUGH THE TANK IS BRAND NEW, I'VE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER WHO SAID THE DEFORMITY IS BAD ENOUGH THAT DUCATI IS REPLACING THE TANK UNDER WARRANTY. BUT THEY ARE DOING SO WITH A TANK THAT ISN'T ANY DIFFERENT FROM THE CURRENT TANK,…
