AFTER LESS THAN 600 MILES ON MY NEW DUCATI SPORT 1000S ,Y FUEL TANK HAS WARPED, CAUSING IT TO BECOME LOOSE. I HAVE SHIMMED IT AFTER THE FIRST OCCURRENCE BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME WORSE AND THE TANK IS AGAIN LOOSE. I HAVE CONTACTED DUCATI OF NORTH AMERICA AND THE LOCAL DEALER TO NO AVAIL. APPARENTLY THE CAUSE IS THE ADDITION OF ETHANOL IN THE GAS. LIKE I SAID, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY THE DEALER OR THE MANUFAC. TO FIX OR REMEDY THE PROBLEM. *TR
AFTER APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR OF OWNERSHIP, THE GAS TANK ON MY 2008 DUCATI GT1000 MOTORCYCLE EXPANDED TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS NO LONGER SECURED BY THE MOUNTING BOSSES AND COULD EASILY BE LIFTED OFF THE FRAME.

I DID SO. 8 MONTHS LATER THE TANK HAS SMALL BUBBLES APPEARING UNDER THE PAINT. I RETURNED THE BIKE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO REPLACED THE TANK. THE REPLACEMENT TANK FROM DUCATI IS MADE OF THE SAME MATERIALS AS THE FIRST ONE AND DOES NOT SOL
MOTORCYCLE: 2008 DUCATI GT-1000. PLASTIC GAS TANK HAS DEFORMED IN SHAPE, SO THAT THE TANK DOES NOT FIT SECURELY IN THE MOUNTING HARDWARE. POSSIBLE CAUSE IS ETHANOL BLENDED FUEL AND REACTION WITH PLASTIC MATERIAL. DUCATI IS REPLACING TANKS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT TANKS ARE CONSTRUCTED WITH SAME MATERIAL WHICH IN TURN, BEGINS TO SPREAD AGAIN. PERMANENT FIX NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, AS WARRANTY PERIOD WILL EVENTUALLY END. *TR
