What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The plastic fuel tank on my 2007 ducati monster 695 is deforming on the sides. The plastic fuel tank used to be smooth on all surfaces but now the sides are rippled and the rippling is steadily getting worse. Today is may 30, 2012 and I first noticed the ripples in november 2011.
Plastic fuel tank is expanding laterally. Tank does not fit onto frame as originally intended and as sold. Steering stops have been altered to the point that the bike cannot be locked in park position. This is to accommodate the steering controls not damaging the tank.
What to check before buying
- Fuel/propulsion system. Fuel smell, leaks, rough running, fuel-system codes.
