Increasing the resistance on a DP 400 Exercise bike

If the resistance braking system on your Olympus Sport exercise bike model OS-11202 is not working, there could be a few potential issues causing the problem. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and possibly fix the issue:

1. Check Power Source: Ensure that the exercise bike is properly plugged into a power source if it requires electricity. Some models may have electronic resistance systems that need power to function.
2. Inspect Resistance Mechanism: Examine the resistance mechanism to see if there are any visible signs of damage or wear. Look for loose cables, broken parts, or anything that appears out of place.
3. Test Resistance Levels: Try adjusting the resistance levels on the bike to see if there is any response. If the resistance levels do not change when you adjust them, it could indicate a problem with the resistance mechanism or the control panel.
4. Reset the Bike: Turn off the exercise bike, unplug it from the power source (if applicable), and wait for a few minutes. Then, plug it back in and turn it on again. Sometimes, resetting the bike can resolve minor issues.
5. Check User Manual: Refer to the user manual for troubleshooting tips specific to your model of exercise bike. The manual may have information on common problems and how to fix them.
6. Contact Manufacturer or Support: If you're unable to resolve the issue on your own, consider contacting the manufacturer or customer support for assistance. They may be able to provide further troubleshooting steps or advise you on repair options.
7. Professional Repair: If the resistance braking system is still not working after attempting these steps, it may be necessary to take the exercise bike to a professional repair technician. They can diagnose the problem more accurately and perform any necessary repairs or replacements.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the resistance braking issue on your Olympus Sport exercise bike and take appropriate action to resolve it.

Our Schwinn 130 worked fine for a year then the resistance setting got stuck. We took it apart and found that the bolt that holds the magnet arm was too tight and preventing it from moving it to the highest resistance setting. We loosened the bolt a bit and added some WD40 and it works great now.

I know this is way later...only 7 years!!. But these bikes or still around. I know because I just got one...Broke.
1. The Motor is bad... About $90 New....
2.If it turns to Easy... The Belt could be off.

I put my belt on and #1 was hard to pedal. But did get harder with resistance increase which means the motor works! Too G??d!

If this is a new bike that may be the way it is. If it worked differently in the past, you may be looking at a busted tension motor or faulty brake.

The supplier or manufacturer can probably help you with this. Is there a support web site or toll-free number in the package.

There are three main types of resistances, the fan resistance used to provide resistance with air they push as you pedal. The second type is the belt resistance which uses a belt that runs through a brake providing resistance for the exercise bikes. The third type is the magnetic exercise bike which provides resistance which can easily be adjusted while riding the bike.

IF you have the one i have, there is a knob with two connected arrows and a plus and minus sign. turn toward the plus, more resistance, turn toward the minus, less resistance.

Something is obviously wrong with the electronics, and unless you find an electronics hobbyist who is willing and able to fix it you would need a new unit.
