"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Tally of Latest NHSTA complaints filed
2008-- 2 filed
2007-- 9
2006-- 6
2005-- 6
Outlook is getting better toward a permanent fix. For those still unfiled: please follow the directions and fill out the little form! This might just work and we can get a good tank FO' FREE! And not pay $1300 for the same crap or more for an upgrade.
Time is running out for the 2005 guys.
Thanks.J.P.

yes there are a few, they are pricey.. none are copies of the stock setup, they are superlight or high capacity models.

My dealer called me today and said that my new tank is slated for delivery mid to end of November. I'm cool with that. Just hope that if Ducati ever does fix the problem and my new tank does it again, that they will re-replace.

I used to hope that our O2/ecu problems would be fixed for free.
I hoped that I would get a gauge pod that wouldn't fog up.
Or a rear brake that didn't need bleeding 2x a year.
Or cases that didn't bubble under the paint.
Or maybe a tank that works as it should- I can't lock my steering or lift the tank latch.
So far I've learned that hope and a nickle will get you a cup of Jack Squat.
I've lost all hope. Time for action.
getting organized and asking nicely sometimes will do the trick. most small manufacturers (like Ducati) respond well when 100+ people call up and say "we're all having the same problem, why don't you do something about it." bad publicity is the last thing they need for telling loyal owners to pound sand.

just filed my report, and I went to a local ducati dealership and they'll be ordering me a new tank.
update, the dealership called me (Valley Motorsports in Northampton, MA) today and informed me that the tank was in! This only took 10 days. I scheduled an appointment for early next week and they said they would install the tank while I waited as it only would take an hour or so. I can't thank ducatiz enough for the assistance with this.

well thanks i guess, i am learning just like everyone else. maybe someone was reading this thread and pushed things along for tank problems at DNA -- who knows?
either way, something is wrong with those tanks and Ducati should make it right. it's not like it has happened on 2 or 3 of them, it's happening on all of them.

Mine has also been almost 2 months... They say it is on the way though, hopefully by the end of the month. I don't get why some are taking so long, and some people are getting there's in less than two weeks!
