I have a ducati monster 796. It is approximately 2-3 months old. After the first 6 weeks of riding the plastic fuel tank deformed to such a degree that fuel was leaking onto the engine casing and then to the ground in my parking garage.
Molded gas tank on motorcycle has become deformed. Common problem on ducati's . Risk of leakage and intererance with stearing. See hundreds of customers complaining that ducati is not resolving the issue. They are still replacing defective tanks with defective tanks.
