At their recommendation I decided against the coating. They have had instances where they had expansion even with Caswell, nullifying the warranty entirely.

Answers my question.
My tank was replaced in February.
New tank has expanded.
Was going to see if they would coat it for me. I guess not.

Shouldn't nullify warranty at all. That is blowing smoke up your ass.

I got the SECOND warranty tank replacement for my S2R installed a couple weeks ago. I can already see significant expansion in the same locations (frame bumpers, key antenna...). This sucks.

I bought a plastic tank on flea bay for eighty bucks and I am putting it to good use. It is going to be a wall piece for my daughter. Check out the link for pics.

tank replacement...

Still waiting 5+ weeks for my tank replacement to come in. Dropped off my s4rt before indy motoGP...
Called 3 times, never a call back from the man in charge. Each time I was told I'd get a call back.
Called today and tried to find out about picking the bike up, so I could at least ride the thing since the weather is nice. Parts guy couldn't answer that question, but told me I'd get a call back...Pfft...never happened.
How Fing long does this crap take? First couple times I just called, and they called me within 2 weeks and told me to bring my tank in, swapped out the bits while I was there...simple. This time my bike sits impounded while the nice weather is here....
Grrrr

I'm still waiting for a response and it's been "9" weeks and my S4RS is about to give birth, to twins, it's so bloated.
I call the shop in SF and their response is well, Ducati hasn't responded back
cause they're so busy this time of year.
What do I do?

I think it has been proven a wise thing to coat these tanks once you get them, so that you
never have to go through this again...
You would think everyone's on the same page, but a lot of people haven't gotten the memo. At some point replacement tanks won't be available, much less free.
So coat it when you get it.

Go around your dealer and contact DNA directly. My dealer jerked me around for 7 weeks until I emailed DNA. DNA called me the same day and I had a new tank the next week.

Do not leave your bike at the dealership if you are only waiting for the tank. There is no need for that, they can take pictures to include in the warranty claim. Tank swap has been a quick thing the last times I had it done, same day while I played around in the showroom.
I do not believe that the dealers can require anyone to leave the bike there until the new tank comes, unless it's actively leaking fuel...then maybe. I'm no expert, but DNA is obviously presently replacing tanks as needed so the dealers **should** not be inconsistent.
berg, I do agree with what you are implying, but in my case, until they close the door on replacing my tank under warranty, I am going to continue to replace it as needed. This is because IF they do figure something out (change in mounting hardware even), I want my tank to stay under warranty. They state 6 years of coverage, and I plan to use all 6 years then when it really is almost over, coat the last tank if it still the only option. If they did any updating to hardware in the meantime, I'll have received it prior to coating. Just my situation, I guess. 2007 S2R

So ounce a year you are going to take the pains of taking your bike in to get the tank changed for the next six years? Coat it and forget about it.
