Latest 620 complaints
I bought a 06 monster 620 dark back in feb 06. The dealer I bought it from is closed. Had the bike serviced only by the original dealer when it was serviced. The bike has 3600 miles on so I go to work on it to just clean it up and change the oil and I can't get the tank to latch. So I go on line to look for a fix and start finding the issues about the tank expansion. *Tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 ducati multistrada 620 motorcycle. The contact stated that gasoline fuel was leaking from under the seat. The dealer was contacted and advised him to remove the tank and bring it in for inspection. The tank was removed and the contact discovered that the fuel tank was fractured.

This ducati motorcycle is equipped with a plastic gas tank that deformed leading to leaking at the fuel pump area. Leaking of fuel is dangerous due to the proximity of the motorcycle fuel tank to engine exhaust which is hot enough to cause a fire if in contact with fuel.
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. *Tr
Potential for fire, even death. Fuel tank swelling to the point of leaking gasoline from the fuel pump flange onto the rear tire and exhaust. Ducati north america is replacing the tanks only if there is an actual leak. The tanks may start leaking at any time. Even when parked in a garage creating a fire hazard in your home or business due to fuel leaking out onto the floor destroying the entire structure that the vehicle is parked in creating massive property damage and possible human lives. Many have been replaced due to leaking others have fuel tanks that are so deformed that you cannot remove them to do routine maintenance as required by ducati with out destroying the tank. *Tr
