They are not the same material. There have been some tank problems with the new generation Monsters, not as common and maybe not related.

Does that mean my replacement tank won't expand like the oroginal? That's what the dealer told me. (07 S2R 1K)

US M1100s are the same material (PA). Euro and Oz tanks are not (XLPE)

"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.

Your dealer lied to you or doesn't know what he's talking about. Your replacement is the same tank as your original.

I've only used about three tanks of gas in the replacement tank. Is it too late to coat it?

No it's not to late. I'd pull it off and coat it now.

Checked my tank yesterday and I have ripples on both sides. Damn. Mine seems to be purely a cosmetic issue at this point so I suppose I'll have to live with it until it affects the mounting points or leaks?

if it shows no evidence of expansion/deformation, then drain it, wash it out and let it sit for a while to dry (long time) and then coat it.

just ordered my caswell kit, a friend of mine is letting me borrow his garage for a while to take care of it...
be putting in cf termi's, sending the headers out to be ceramic coated, and putting in a evotech at the same time... i figured since i was doing so much already, might as well just spend a bit more time and take care of the tank too.

those are just procedural, there could be a dozen before any actual testimony.

Thus the reason I said "Initial case management conference rescheduled for March 3rd" rather than "OMG! On March 3rd we're going to get some answerzzz!!!!1!" lol

Well my replacement tank that is all of 3 months old is swollen up just like the old one - wtf!?
I knew they were the same tanks, but 3 months? come on...
Oh and I've barely read any of this thread... I guess I should have been more on top of things.
I took it by the dealer and they took some pics - do you think it will be replaced by Ducati again?
Sucks but that may mean selling the bike if there's no resolution... and the multistrada I was looking at has the same issue too - nice.
