My motorcycle has a plastic gas tank which has begun to expand. The outside dimensions of the tank have increased and it now does not sit correctly in the frame, the handlebars hit it on turning, and it presses against the ignition switch. Previously it opened and closed without problems, now I have to wedge it against the ignition switch to close it. The rubber mounts no longer sit on the frame. I have not significantly modified my motorcycle except for an aftermarket exhaust and some cosmetic changes. I have made no modifications to the fuel tank or fuel pump. I am concerned as to the safety of this motorcycle now. The tank's swelling has made it so the handlebars do not turn correctly. If the tank swells enough, it will split open and I am concerned this will happen while I am riding.

I have not significantly modified my motorcycle except for an aftermarket exhaust and some cosmetic changes. I have made no modifications to the fuel tank or fuel pump. I took the bike to the dealer who submitted a claim to ducati north america (the importer/factory). I am very concerned as to the safety of this motorcycle now. The tank's swelling has made it so the handlebars do not turn correctly. If the tank swells enough, it will split open and I am concerned this will happen while I am riding.

This is not if the tank swells enough, it will split open and I am concerned this will happen while I am riding. A gas tank should not change shape under normal use and I have not modified the bike in a manner which would cause expansion.

Btw, this is a ducati monster 695, the form only showed a 696.
