I was told that my lifecycle 9500hr wasnt turning on because of the alternator. I replaced that and the display still wont turn on...any ideas of how to fix this????

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

Clean your battery terminals with rubbing alcohol then if it still doesn't work buy new a new battery. It may be running low.

I have the same issue. Can someone tell me where the battery is located? Is it in the control panel or in the base? Are replacements easy to find?

The battery located at the front bottom of the bike.
Remove TORX screws from the right side and bottom cover (as if riding)
Move the cover aside to locate the battery
Remove two slot screws holding the battery
Replace with original,or alarm type battery (use plastic ties to secure)

replace plugs an wires!

cam sensor,
crank sensor,
theft system

On the bottom the bike frame their should be s# plate. If you need to replace the battery you need to: first remove the foot pedals,then side panels.

A 6v @ 2.5Ah battery should be in the frame
they sold run about $20.00 to $27.00 plus S/H

Some of these units have the main battery ( 6v @ 2.5AH ) inside the bike frame and a 9v in the backside of the upper console
