I got notice that my tank would be replaced today. No specified delivery date...only 2 weeks from the time I dropped her off.

Sounds like it was approved. After approval the factory has to ship it.

Guys,
So, has anyone else noticed a build up of pressure in their tank when opening the filler cap? Is this normal or do I need to look for a clogged canister or an actual pinched vent line?

Follow the vent line from under the tank. Mine hangs in the open, since I took off my charcoal canister.

Hey Folks,
Just wondering if anyone knows if the 2010 Monsters will suffer the same fate as the others regarding the tank expansion.
I think I saw someone mentioning their '09 having problems, so I can only assume it's an identical tank?

You should weigh your concerns in the sticky thread.

agreed, move to sticky, but;
my '09 696 just had its internal tank replaced under warranty, only took a couple weeks to arrive...

what were the symptoms? my understanding is that those tanks are a totally different material from the non-panel type..

Sorry. Probably should have just stuck it here.
So that's my question, I thought the tanks were different than those that have been having problems, but have they actually corrected the "problem" or just redesigned the shape of the tank?
I've put an order in for a 2010 696, but if it's going to encounter this issue, I'd probably switch to a different bike... :-(

I wouldnt let that stop you from ordering one. The bike far out weighs the possibilities of any tank issues. The tank is emission control. So its even warrantied further than the standard warranty
All bikes have their issues. So buying something else isnt going to guarantee anything.
A few brands come to mind that are more "terminal" than a expanding tank. Just my 2 cents

i agree. i started this whole thread and effort and so far, i think Ducati's response has been very good. i am still going to push for a recall, but they are replacing *every* expanded tank that comes thru the door -- the only problems have been with individual dealers who don't understand the process.
moreover, the warranties are useful but Ducati has replaced tanks far outside the warranties. they know this is a problem.
i said i'd like to avoid a lawsuit and i might get my wish. that would be nice -- how many attorneys will say that?

I'm kinda with you on that. When i bought this bike I was planning on keeping it for at least 10 to 12 years. This tank issue has me concerned what its going to mean for me to keep it that long. Looking back knowing what i know now i likely would have chosen differently. But I must agree with duckintime also as these are some kick ass bikes.
