The motorcycle plastic gas tank is expanding and is now directly contacting the forks of the bike when turning- causing impact stress points on the fuel tank that will eventually lead to fuel leakage potential fire and possible fatality if leakage / ignition occurs while riding. Have contacted ducati numerous times about this problem and they refuse to address this issue which apparently is common in this model / year of the s2r1000 monster. Requesting immediate action and response of nhstb since I am greatly concerned about my safety now while riding this bike.
