Life cycle 5500 has started slipping at levels 4 and up

Hi Abraham.

What I'm finding in the way of manuals isn't more specific than that the system uses 2 'D' size batteries, which should last about 800 hours. A review here
Lifecycle GX Review Spin Bike Reviews Indoors Fitness (about 2/3 way down the page) mentions that the batteries are in the console and easy to replace. I'd look for a battery door, likely secured with a small phillips head screw, and large enough to accommodate D Cells. It also mentions that there is a low-battery warning at the top of the console.

Hoping this narrows it down for you.

Most likely a dead battery,you could also check and make sure that that the sensor for the flywheel is in tact

You'll have to open up the battery assembly compartment on the user lower left side and replace your old batteries.

The LifeCycle GX power requirements are

• Battery: 2 D-Cell batteries
• Approximate Battery life: 800hrs

Using a wrench, you remove the left pedal as you would loosen a normal, left hand threaded bolt. The right side is a reverse thread and would need to be loosened in the opposite direction.

You have to start pedaling to get it to start up, some times you have to pedal pretty fast to get it to start up

I would try tilex. Be sure to spray it on and let it sit for 15 minutes before you start scrubbing. Use an old fashioned scrub brush on a handle so you can stand and put some leverage into it. If one application doesn't do it, repeat until you have it the way you want it. good luck
