What 2007 Ducati Sport Classic owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
2007 ducati sport 1000s - gas tank has been deformed. It no longer sits properly in the mounting points on the side. It has expanded beyond the point of sitting properly in the mounting points in the front. The tank now rests unsecured on the frame and will shift and teeter from side to side while the bike is in motion.
Gas tank deformed and was loose. Had it replaced once by the dealer. Now two years later the replaced tank is deformed and will be loose.
The fuel tank on my motorcycle has spread and distorted enough that it has fallen off the frame of the motorcycle. While riding the motorcycle at normal highway speed, wind will actually lift the fuel tank up and the rider must hold it in place so it does not separate completely from the vehicle. I was in fear for my safety when riding my motorcycle even though the dealer insists that ducati sees this as a normal condition. I pushed the issue with the dealer and they have refused my latest request for a replacement fuel tank under warranty (good faith or otherwise). The new repair provided was to install a larger bracket on the frame of the motorcycle to try and retain the defective tank. This does not solve the original issue of a poorly manufactured and faulty fuel tank on the vehicle.
Fuel tank is spreading and is now loose on it's mounts. Possible for it to lift at the front of the tank. This is unsafe as it could come loose while driving/riding and cause a serious accident or loss of control. Also poses a risk of having fuel leaking either while riding or parked which I could be fined for. This is a defect that is just being patched up and not rectified by ducati. Numerous attempts have been made to have this problem solved by myself and others with the same problem. Leaking fuel is also a serious environmental issue as well.
Fuel tank (plastic) has swollen ond no longer attaches to the frame of the motorcycle on the sides. Tank may come off in an accident or perhaps riding. This could be very serious with fire, injury, loss of control.
The tank on my 2007 ducati sport 1000 biposto has spread half an inch on each side of the tank. The rubber part of the mount has extended almost passed the metal bracket, making it loose and extremely unsafe.
1. I noticed dimples on the top of my gas tank and then checked the mounting brackets for the gas tank. The gas tank could be pulled completely off the motorcycle without much effort. 2. This is a failure that cannot rectify itself and slowly degrades more and more. 3. The motorcycle was taken into a ducati service shop and they "shimmed" the gas tank bracket to prevent it from being able to remove it completely. The tank was still loose, but could not be removed completely. Since the shimming of the brackets, the tank has warped and spread further and is looser than when originally shimmed. This causes a shaking of the gas tank at normal operating speed when my leg comes in contact with the gas tank.
Fuel tank is spreading and is now loose on it's mounts. Possible for it to lift at the front of the tank.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ducati sport classic 1000 motorcycle. While driving 25 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. Also, the fuel tank was abnormally stretched due to fuel line tension. The dealer advised the contact that the vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign id number: 07v017000 (fuel system, gasoline: delivery: hoses, lines/piping, and fittings). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic who referred the contact to an authorized dealer for service. No repairs were performed. The current and failure mileages were 3,600.
