Joined the group today...took my bike to the local Duc shop last Saturday and was told that they will have an answer for me this Friday...hopefully DNA will come thru and replace the tank...the shop wasn't too convinced since the warranty on my bike expired 9 months ago (it's an '07)...here's to being hopeful....

Your bike has two warranties. RTFM.

"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.

I dont think the warranty has a mileage equivalent.
If E10 is to blame then, is it how much fresh e10 is going into the tank? or is it how long the tank is exposed to e10? I hear E10 holds water too, but does it breakdown by itself?
My tank has morphed so much over the years, i wish there was a way to document it.
At first it was really hard to shut the clasp but it sat on my frame. Then it wouldnt sit on my frame and was relaly hard to take on and off. Then it completely did not sit on the frame but was easier to clasp. Now the clasp is useless and it doenst sit on the frame. but i hold an extra 1/2 gallon.
BTW: DNA said they contacted the dealer to speak with me. 2 weeks, the dealer hasnt done anything.

I was told the emissions warranty has a 18,600 mile limit, which is why I'm having trouble.

I would share your sentiment, except unfortunately my S4Rs is currently not only the most fun motorcycle I've ever owned (of about 45-50 bikes over 31 years) but it is the most fun motorcycle I've ever ridden at all, and if I'm down and crabby and just out of sorts, all I have to do is go out for about 2-3 miles on this thing and I can't wipe the silly grin off my face to save my life, and people think I'm on some kind of drugs! So, I'm hoping for an eventual, permanent, fix.

The guys on the Multistrada site report a dealer who uses the Caswell coating for the new tanks and has good success so far.
I might talk to the guys at Ducpond about doing this for mine.
I think you have to do it before it's had gas in it though...

Thats the thing -- the same tank that was put on last week is the same tank they put on the first time.
It's crap then, and it's crap now.
So in two years when this thing swells up like a bee-sting again what are we going to do? We are lucky as it is to fall in the emissions warrenty. I highly doubt we'll be getting another $1800 freebie for the next one when we are out of the 5 years.

I just read about this product
www.caswellplating.com/aids/epoxygas.htm
on LT Snyders site, desmo times.. According to his blog this stuff will work on plastic tanks although who knows for how long. Another who knows is, will this stuff even work at all if you've allready exposed your tank to E10.

i just got another email from DNA. they were kind enough to email me following up on this matter.
They emailed me 2 weeks ago telling me they spoke with the dealer and the dealer will call me. (they havent called or left a voice mail or emailed)
They emailed me again today asking me if it got replaced.
how bad is the tank now? after sitting with a full tank of E10? The clasp is completely useless other then not allowing the tank to flip over.... it will shift left or right What does that mean? My bike is useless cause im not going to ride with my knee hooked in and feel my tank shift causing me to shit my pants thinking im falling off the bike.
However it is winter, i wont be doing any of that, so Im just hoping DNA will do the right thing and just authorize the work somewhere else. Ill be glad to go.
