How in the hex do they decide who gets the bs "kit" and who gets a new tank? Clearly you should get a new tank IMHO. I'll be going to peppboys in the morning to get some K100 (until I have the time to go through with the whole casewell thing)

I think it's the cosmetic deformation that gets the kit (ripples, tank latch, or bumpers).
The tanks that are leaking, or something of the like, get the new tank. Don't quote me on that, it's just the impression I got from my dealer.

The question I have is if you get the BS tank kit does it count as the "replacement" and henceforth you only have 6 months of warranty left? According to the settlement it is 5 years of 18 months whichever is longer. Most of us with older monsters will probably be going by the 18 month rule. And then there is 6 months of additional warranty after the replacement. So say 2 months in you had the BS tank put on then would they say you only have 6 more months left instead of 16?

It seems like you'd get the longer of the two, but I would have to reread the terms.

That kit thing is such BS
I'm going to refer to it as the bs kit from now on... what a two backs beasting joke. Going to be real interesting to see how this whole thing plays out. Duc750 that doesn't make any sense b/c if there are tanks that are leaking then a bs kit is not goint to prevent leaking!!!

I think the ramifications of the "BS Kit" will be played out for years. Just think of what it will do (has done) for re-sale values of the bikes involved. This event will sow alot of bad blood for years (please forgive the mixed metaphor).

Nordog, my point exactly...if the tanks expand to the point where they leak then the bs kit is not going to prevent that outcome.
Look, when a guy goes to buy a new Ducati all he is going to care about is that the bike looks beautiful and that Ducati is winning races and on the cutting edge. All eyes of the world are on the Panigale not our old bikes. However I do think their reputation has been tarnished because of this. To what extent?
If they start using the ethonal gas Europe I think this will turn into a real big stinker for them. Either way that whole bs kit thing is unacceptable; a joke really.

For the painted tanks, deformation over a certain amount (I think it's 3 or 4 mm in any direction) gets a new tank.
I don't believe there is any option for replacement for unpainted tanks.
Warranty modification is 5 years from purchase or 18 months additional FROM the date of the settlement, whichever is longer.
6 months applies when you have a replacement tank.

Clearly Gadgetechs' tank was painted. Gadgetech, did you request to just get the tank and then instal it yourself? FYI the dealership gets paid for the labor to instal the tank on your bike. Perhaps if you requested to instal it yourself there is nothing in it for them and they are just giving you a hard time in return.

That's why I said if the old tanks are leaking then they will get a replacement.
If the cosmetic deformation isn't that bad, yet, DNA wants to go the cheaper route and give the owner the "kit". I think the idea is to avoid giving out new tanks left and right like they were doing before the lawsuit.

You should be saving for one of those aluminum tanks Ducatiz is having made up. My plan is to get one and wait to put it on until I get a new one from Ducati so I can coat it and have a backup. I don't ever want the tank to be an issue for me again. That said, if it does really end up hurting the resale value and these tanks from Ducatiz become readily available, then these bikes will become a steal on the used market!
