Fuel tank keeps expanding. Ducati replaced tank 2 times but with the same material or same type . Tank swelling makes it impossible to remove to get under the tank for maintenance or access to battery . Tank also doesn't fit properly to frame . Dealer wants to sale k100 fuel additive for ethanol problem to prevent plastic swelling . I tried but problem persists . No improved tank is offered . I own a second bike with same problem . Thank you

Engine · at 8,000 miles · reported Mar 29, 2014

The engine case has 2 severe cracked in the place where the frame mounts to the engine. This is common with the s2r and st3 because of a design flaw in frame design adding increased pressure to that part of the engine case.

Fuel/Propulsion System · at 5,000 miles · reported Mar 29, 2014
