2007 DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC Complaints

FUEL TANK DEFORMS OVER TIME, CAUSING IT TO LIFT OUT OF THE FRONT BRACKETS. THE TANK IS THEN LOOSE AND MOVES CONSIDERABLY UNDER HAND PRESSURE, WOULD PROBABLY COME OFF COMPLETELY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. DEALER HAS REPLACED TANK ONCE, THE NEW ONE IS ALREADY SHOWING THE SAME PROBLEMS, SO CLEARLY THE DESIGN OR MANUFACTURE OF THE TANK IS TO BLAME. *TR

DUCATI 2007 GT1000 MOTORCYCLE PLASTIC FUEL TANK IS SOFTENING AND SPREADING WHICH CAUSE THE TANK TO NOT BE SUPPORTED BY THE FRONT TANK BRACKETS. *TR

I HAVE A DUCATI MOTORCYCLE THAT HAS A DEFECTIVE GAS TANK. IT HAS DEFORMED OVER TIME TO THE POINT THAT IT HAS FALLEN OFF IT'S MOUNTS. THE PLASTIC GAS TANK WAS REPLACED WITH THE EXACT SAME PART UNDER WARRANTY. THE REPLACEMENT IS MADE OUT OF THE SAME MATERIALS AS THE ORIGINAL. MY DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART WILL DEFORM LIKE THE ORIGINAL. IF THE TANK FALLS OFF IT COULD CREATE A FUEL SPILL, FIRE, OR EVEN DEATH. *TR

FUEL TANK ON MY 2007 DUCATI GT1000 HAS WARPED/DISTORTED IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TANK NO LONGER FITS IN IT'S FRAME MOUNTS PROPERLY. THIS UNIT CURRENTLY HAS 16,500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS IS THE 2ND FUEL TANK TO BE MOUNTED ON THIS MOTORCYCLE. THE ORIGINAL TANK THAT WAS MOUNTED AT THE TIME THE MOTORCYCLE WAS ASSEMBLED ALSO HAD THE SAME WARP/DISTORTION ISSUES AT APPROX 5000 MILES AND WAS REPLACED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. *TR

THE GAS TANK ON MY 2007 DUCATI GT 1000 SPORT CLASSIC IS SPREADING, SO MUCH SO THAT EXTRA SHIMS UNDER THE MOUNTING PADS CAN NO LONGER RECTIFY THE CONDITION. I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL COME OFF WHILE THE BIKE IS IN USE. *TR

1) GAS TANK WARPING DUE TO TANK MATERIAL REACTION TO FUEL WITH ETHANOL (THE STATE IN WHICH I LIVE, AND MANY OTHERS, REQUIRE 10% ETHANOL). MOST EU COUNTRIES WHERE THE BIKE IS FROM HAVE NO ETHANOL IN THEIR GAS. 2) TANK WARPING MAY CAUSE TANK TO COME LOOSE FROM HOLDING BRACKETS 3) TANK WAS REPLACED WITH NEW TANK THOUGH UNSURE IF PROBLEM WITH ETHANOL REACTION WAS CORRECTED, AS I HAVE TALKED WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD AS MANY AS 3 TANKS REPLACED DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

2007 DUCATI GT SPORT CLASSIC FUEL TANK SPREADING , TANK DEFORMING HAS CAUSED THE TANK TO MOVE OFF THE FRAME MOUNTS. TANK IS NO LONGER SECURE TO FRAME CAUSING THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY AND ACCIDENT. *TR

I OWN A 2007 DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC. THIS BIKE HAS A WELL KNOWN DESIGN ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE GAS TANK TO "SPREAD". DUCATI HAS BEEN REPLACING THEM UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE REPLACEMENT HAS THE SAME FLAWED DESIGN, AND WILL FAIL ALSO. MY WARRANTY IS STILL IN EFFECT AND THE DEALER JUST ORDERED MY REPLACEMENT TANK, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT WHEN THIS NEXT ONE SPREADS MY WARRANTY WILL BE NULL. *TR

PLASTIC FUEL TANK SPREADING BECOMING LOOSE AND NOT BEING PROPERLY ATTACHED TO THE MOTORCYCLE,LEAVING ONLY ONE SMALL BOLT HOLDING IT ON. OCCURRENCE,ONCE. REPLACED BY DEALER BUT SPREADING AGAIN. DEALER SAYS CANT GUARANTEE ANY REPLACEMENTS. *TR

THE FUEL TANK OF MY DUCATI 2007 GT1000 IS SPREADING. THE DEALER EXTENDED THE BRACKET OUT TO HOLD IT IN PLACE HOWEVER I THINK THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND TEMPORARY REMEDY AS THE TANK IS CONTINUING TO SPREAD. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THE TANK CRACKS AND START A FIRE CAUSING HARM TO MYSELF AND OTHER. *TR
