Just received a little notice in the mail today of a legal nature. Looks like there's a good chance my second swollen tank could be replaced.  waytogo

Same here, not sure I like the remedies. Think I'll cross post this to the XR1200 forum, yeah I'm really lucky I have 2 bikes impacted by this ethanol crap, and send it to my legislators to counter the push for 15% Ethanol. - Gene

"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 received mine yesterday as well. It still has not been settled, but most likely will be. We will have to play close attention to the time frame. Hopefully our dealers will work for us and allow us to get a new tank before the 6 year span runs out. Then we get 12months. After that we're on our own

Received mine today. If I read this right, with a 2011 I get only 18 months from the date the settlement is approved. Is that a correct reading? ducatiz?  Huh?

I haven't gotten my notice yet, bit if I have read the release correctly, since I have an '05 I have only 12 months from my last new tank (July '11) to check for swelling to get another one. Is this right?

By the time the 6 year remedial period is up some enterprising companies will have produced aftermarket STEEL tanks for ducatis and made a good profit.....if they dont the resale value of Ducatis with Cheese plastic tanks will plummet.

Mark my words:

Ducati will make an aluminum tank, marketed as a racing accessory and get their money back.

You think people will buy an aluminum tank for $2k just to keep their Ducs?  I wouldn't personally

Thousands of owners will have to choose between prematurely scrapping their bikes or to pay the ransom, keeping them rolling or being able to sell them at all.

CA CycleWorks already made an effort and someone else will see this opportunity and act upon it. Maybe it will be an aftermarket manufacturer, maybe it will be Ducati.

It's a theoretical universe of customers counting upwards to 40,000. I'd think someone will see that as a market?
