THIS IS A WELL KNOWN AND WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM.  THERE ARE OVER 100 COMPLAINTS FILED IN THIS NHTSA SITE, MOSTLY WITH THE SPORT CLASSIC LINE, BUT ALSO WITH THE MONSTER, HYPERMOTARD, AND SUPERBIKE LINES AS WELL.  ANY OF DUCATI'S BIKES WITH PLASTIC FUEL TANKS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE.  ON A POPULAR WEBSITE, DUCATI.MS, 238 SPORT CLASSIC OWNERS STATED THEY EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE TANK EXPANDING.    THE CONCERN IS THAT EVEN THE REPLACEMENT TANKS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS.  MY SECOND TANK HAS ALSO DEFORMED AND NOW I AM SEEKING A THIRD TANK FROM DUCATI.    THE WORRY FOR ALL SPORT CLASSIC OWNERS IS THAT SOON DUCATI WILL STOP HONORING THESE CLAIMS AS OUR WARRANTY PERIODS HAVE ENDED.  THE SPORT CLASSICS WERE SUCH LIMITED EDITION BIKES, THAT THERE IS ALSO CONCERN THAT DUCATI WILL NOT MANUFACTURE ANY MORE REPLACEMENT TANKS.  BUT ONCE AGAIN, THE FRUSTRATION IS THAT TO THIS DATE, DUCATI STILL HAS NOT INTRODUCED A REPLACEMENT PLASTIC FUEL TANK THAT WILL NOT EXPAND.    AGAIN, ALTHOUGH THIS PROBLEM IS MOST PREVALENT FOR OWNERS OF THE SPORT CLASSIC LINE, DEALERS INFORM ME THEY ARE SEEING SIMILAR PROBLEMS NOW WITH ALL DUCATI BIKES EQUIPPED WITH PLASTIC FUEL TANKS, SOMETHING DUCATI NEVER DID BEFORE, INTRODUCING THEM IN 2006.    THIS COMPLAINT IS BEING FILED WITH HOPES THAT THE NHTSA CAN MAKE SURE DUCATI CONTINUES TO DEVELOP A REPLACEMENT TANK THAT WILL NOT DEFORM (AGAIN THE REPLACEMENT TANKS NOW ARE NO BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL ONES).  AND UNTIL THEY DO THAT, I HOPE THE NHTSA CAN PERSUADE DUCATI TO CONTINUE TO REPLACE THESE PROBLEM TANKS, REGARDLESS OF WHEN THE BIKE WAS PURCHASED, AND TO SPECIFICALLY PROVIDE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THOSE REPLACEMENTS. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2006","productMake":"DUCATI","productModel":"SPORT CLASSIC","manufacturer":"Ducati North America"}]}]}
