Fuel System, Gasoline · at 3,300 miles · reported Jun 19, 2010
Purchased a used '05 ducati mts 1000s ds from the local dealership. Two days after getting it home I noticed the strong smell of gasoline in the garage. I called dealership they suggested that was normal. A couple of days later I noticed staining on the frame rails beneath the seat and it smelled of gasoline. I took it to dealership and the tank was cracked under the seat and actively leaking fuel. The tank was replaced.
Fuel System, Gasoline · at 9,000 miles · reported Jun 17, 2010
The plastic/composite gas tank/seat component is changing shape (Expanding) over time. The first sign was fuel leaking around the fuel pump seals, slow at first, then dangerous levels. The seat pad, which attaches to the tank, cannot be properly secured due to the shifting of the bolt locations. The tank/seat itself cannot be properly secured into the frame now, making it hazardous to ride. Local ducati dealer is not responsive to the issue.
