I got this from Ducati UK:
Quote
Your Ducati Monster S2R is the first of its kind in which we have seen any deformation in the fuel tank. We do not consider this a manufacturing defect so will not replace under warranty however, we would like to offer a new replacement tank at a heavily subsidised price of £581.91 including VAT. For your reference a new tank retails at £1163.82 including VAT. Alternatively we can make a request to all dealerships within the network to enquire about a second hand fuel tank on your behalf. A second hand fuel tank would also be at your cost and please note so would any labour for any fitment of any replacement tank as well.

I would say if china or any one would make a high end tank /even plastic / with carbon overlay they would sell alot of these tanks at a great price .

Well, Ducati UK may have never seen it but it's nonsense. They know about it.
You need to get in contact with other owners and figure out what you can do.

have you been using Ethanol-enriched fuel?

I have a thread on the UKmonster forum and no one has the problem yet. I bought the bike and only after the mechanic tried to lift the tank (the latch wouldn't open properly) and I read into it I found this thread. Before I bought the bike it had been sat unused for a year so this may be the reason but it hasn't got any worse so far

FYI to all - I am sending my old '06 S2R800 Dark fuel tank to the ETI fuel cel guy to use as a template to make tanks with. The only deformation it has suffered seems to be the fuel pump flange. That means it's a good specimen for this purpose. It leaks slightly so I cannot in good conscience eBay it
. At the very least it could ultimately provide a better alternative to leaky carbon and expanding nylon tanks. The ETI guy doesn't currently make tanks for FI Monsters, because nobody has yet contacted him or sent a tank in for him to copy.
So there it is. Those ETI tanks seem superior in every way to OEM. No warping, much lighter in weight. Probably the only permanent solution to this problem.
And no PITA Caswelling adventurism.

Not only does he make one. I have/had 1 (had to be redone). Make sure you ask him if he ever figured out what went
wrong with the one he did for me (twice). They both had killer paint jobs done by DP that had to be
destroyed.

I'll say that it's not too much of a jack, as it's a potential working solution to the expanding tank issue. But hey, that's just me and my beer talking.
