Read complaints for DUCATI 1098 (2008)
Stalled while driving and would not start.
The contact owns a 2008 ducati 1098 motorcycle. The contact stated that the fuel tank swelled to more than three quarters its normal size. This failure caused fuel to leak out of the fuel tank. The contact believed the failure was caused by the ethanol used in gasoline. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that because they were aware of the failure, the vehicle would be repaired but the fuel tank would be replaced with the same type of fuel tank that previously failed. The failure and current mileage was 7,000.
I purchased a '08 ducati sport classic sport 1000 in april 2009. It was used with 1,200 miles on it. Within 2 months of purchase the gas tank "spread". This means the plastic gas tank distorted it's shape enough to come completely off it's mount on the right side of the gas tank. Ducati is replacing this tank with an exact duplicate. Since the replacement tank is the same material as the original, i expect the "spreading " problem to re-occur. The problem is in the material used in the construction of the gas tank. Ducati is giving us defective tanks to replace the defective tanks on the bikes.

2008 ducati monster s2r 1000, plastic tank expands over time (about 3000 miles) to the point where it is completely off of the supports on the frame. There was a report of a ducati tank exploding in north carolina... Ducati agreed to replace my tank under their emissions warranty. However, what will happen to the bike when its warranty expires, or when this issue becomes widely known and noone would want this bikes used.
