This could easily cause a fire. For close to a year beverly hills ducati was unaware of any such problem and their only solution was to purchase a new tank. Beverly hills ducati is now aware of this problem and their recomndation is to have the tank welded.
Frame is cracking. Called ducati. They said they would replace frame but I have to pay labor ($690). Ducati is well aware of problems with the 900 series frame. They say giving me a new frame is in good faith, I feel they should cover all charges.
