What 2009 Ducati MTS1100S owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Fuel tank on my 2009 ducati multistrada 1100 is warping and expanding. According to information available online, my tank may eventually leak fuel. My dealer told me ducati will not replace my tank unless it is actually leaking. This is a serious safety concern. When ducati does replace tanks, they replace them with tanks made of the same defective material, so apparently they are not trying to fix the problem. Ducati has apparently known about this problem for years, they should have either stopped selling this model or made a countermeasure after they learned of the problem.
The fuel tank on my 2009 ducati multistrada 1100s is expanding/moving/warping which is placing stress on my bike's frame, leading to the potential for catastrophic steering failure as the tank jams against the handlebars and the horrific potential for tank rupture.
