2005: “My 2005 Ducati monster s2r800 has a plastic gas tank which has begun to expand. The outside dimensions have increased and it does not sit correctly in the frame and it now its getting close to the ignition switch. Its the original tank , started to show few bubbles here and there! Might be warping! I worry about my safety and as well of others. And hope this gets resolve.”
