So far they will give you a "new tank" made from the same cheesy plastic. Some fix!! I also remember when the HD Twin Cam 88's had bad cam bearings and Harley's move was to tell costumers to wait until the bearings exploded before they would do anything about it. And people still buy them:) Ducati needs to recall the cheesy plastic fuel tanks that swell up and eventually leak.

It will do this for a couple of thousand miles. All dealers were told about this before any bikes were ever delivered to dealers. It is normal, nothing is wrong and it will stop after a while.

The Harley is the best bike overall I have owned. It is not perfect but neither were any of my Hondas. And parts for them were more expensive and they were harder to work on. And lest you think I am just a cruiser guy my last Honda was a 750 interceptor. I liked the bike very much but I also like the many of the qualitys of the Harley as well. Our sport is based on individuality and we should celebrate riders of all types and quit trying to run down the other guy just because he rides something different from.

It is virtually certain that Ducati is reporting all this to the NHTSA. There just isn't any way that the NHTSA would find all of this, and probably none of it. But it boggles my mind that any motorcycle would find its way to production with so many things that could cause a catastrophic crash. The front brake hose evidently can rub against the exposed, threaded end of a screw that holds the master cylinder in place. This should be obvious to anyone casually inspecting the bike, so how does something like this pass any sort of quality control? There are evidently two ways that the swingarm can come loose, and evidently two ways that the steering damper can come loose. Ducati is evidently finding and reporting things that they should have found long before a single one of these bikes was ever delivered to a dealer. Gee whiz.

I fill mine up and within days it'll be empty again. There must be something wrong with it. Japanese bikes... Just can't live with 'em. Does your gas tank also leak?
