Go ahead and make the claim.  There is no reason they'll deny it at this point.  If it was my bike, I'd wait to see if it leaks as well.  The plaintiff in the lawsuit has a 1098.

Thanks for the info.  Figured I would actually wait since it isnt leaking or harming anything and do it when it gets cold again.

Just went in today to have the tank looked at.  The latch wasn't working and I noticed the tank was off the frame on the right side by about half an inch.  I think mine only lasted this long because of the tank cover.  It's a 2007 Black S2R800 which I bought December 2006.  The service department at the dealer took a look at it then had me remove the cover, take some pictures, and fill out some paperwork.  They will call me when it comes in.  I'll let you guys know how long it takes to get it replaced.

My tank has been expanding, but until now has been annoying, but not cosmetic.  This morning i walked into the garage to see two large deformations/bumps.  So bummed out.

Getting to a dealer is going to be a major PITA for me.

I am based in the Waltham, MA area.

Any suggestions on the nearest / most helpful dealer to contact to get in line?

Thanks.

 My '06 S2R800 fell victim to the dreaded expansion issue. I finally got around to getting my tank replaced under warranty last fall right before the bike went into storage. It was a no hassle process with my local shop up here in northeast Ohio. I drained the gas after getting it home and let the bike sit over the winter. Rode it for the month of May but have since removed my new warrantied Ducati tank and have replaced it with a CA Cycleworks track tank which I will soon post some photos/feedback on. Hopefully no more worrying about this crap for me and I have the new, mint Duc tank in case I ever decide to sell my baby (or the tank).

I'm also planning to purchase the CA Cycleworks tank for my S2R when my tank (now the 2nd) gets pregnant. I'm curious to know how you like the Cycleworks tank?

Nearest is probably Riverside.

Don't know if they'll be helpful or not.

There is always Cycles 128...they took the Eastern Cycles franchise.

Don't know if they'll be helpful either.
