With the heater fan on at the first increment there is a rumble which is quite loud and distinct. Once you turn the fan up to full it disappears. I guess its a flap dragging at low fan speeds? once the engine is started you don't notice it because of the overall engine/exhaust rumble. The car's new and has not been in for its first service yet but I was wandering if anybody had the same experience and if there was a quick fix.

They all do that just put it on No4 LED and it is much quieter as there is sufficient airflow to stop the flaps moving around or get your dealer to add some extra balance weights to the flaps.

I agree, mine does that as well. Turn it off or up!

No worries if they all do that. Good excuse to get a set of those carbon cans that everybody raves about. My garage is a graveyard for "original" cans for all the bikes I have had. I can start doing the same for th car now!

Its great.....I've got the R1 up on paddock stands, just fitted a Power Commander for the fuel injection to map it for the Acropovic can, fitting Harris rear sets.....my son has moved out his bedroom to live inside the Tuscan....my wife is considering putting a microwave in the garage so we can live down there. She was pretty dismayed as my son and I thought that was a pretty good idea!
