On the ride the battery gets drained of power. When the battery loses power the bike loses revs. Is this the regulator and how do I test it or is there something else to check?
Same thing happened to me. It turned out to be a corroded connection from the alternator that snapped off when inspected. The first thing to check is battery condition. A fully charged battery should be around 12.5 volts. When the engine is running the voltage should increase to around 14.5 volts. If it does increase then your charging system is working as it should and the problem lies elsewhere (possibly a battery that is past its best and needs replacing). If it doesn't increase the voltage, then chec the wires from your alternator (ther should be 2 wires) and follow these to the junction connector. This was where mine was badly corroded. I used more cable to bypass this connection and my problem was fixed. I then replaced the connections with new ones and all is fine. The bright yellow straw is pointing to the corrosion problem. Hope this is of help as totally replacing your alternator isn't cheap.

I don't seem to have power at the coils, can you help?
Could be loads of things to be honest, Rectifier, Magneto, poor ground the list goes on and on, you need to take it to a shop or test just about everything electrical to do with the ignition section, probably starting with the rectifier.

2014 ultra, after transporting in trailer - will not start, has no power
will it not start, or has no power? Or do you mean power as in electricity? It is very hard to diagnose when such vague questions are used. if it can start and run, but performs poorly, check to see it the spark plug cap hasn't rattled loose, or that the plug isn't cracked or otherwise unserviceable. If you mean it has no electrical power, check the fuses and battery terminals and they may have been knocked out of place.

1 is there any way to get new NOC once it is lost?
2my battery is good, but indicator not is working? any problems with coil?
3 my bike has low pulling nd power do I need to replace oil or anyt
I'd love to help, but every one of your questions is vague or nonsense. 1. What is NOC? if you mean NO2(or NOS) then you can get it at most car tuning shops or are friends with a Dentist. 2. Which indicator is not working, there are lots of kinds, and since you didn't post your model, I don't even know what indicators you have. 3. Low power is a VERY vague description of performance and could be any number of things depending on model, age, and mileage. if you do use NO2 that is likely the reason for poor performance as it destroys piston rings and scratches up cylinder walls and thus ruins compression. Age and mileage could do this also. additionally since you are asking if you need to replace the oil I can assume that you have never done it since you purchased the bike, which means the damage is likely already done. Oil in virtually every bike ever made needs the oil changed every three months of riding, or twice a year if not riding often. One inexpensive thing you can try is changing the spark plug(s), if they/it is old it could cause weak ignition and thus lower power output. my recommendation is with as many issues as you are having is that you take it to a shop for a full check-up. hope that helped.

How can i get a power cord for my Swinn ex. bike?Estimated to be 5 Years old.
It would help to know what model bike You have because that model number can be given to any appliance parts dealer that You find locally, possibly even Sears, to get a replacement power adapter. I'm assuming Yours is like a small transformer that plugs into the wall outlet with a small cord that has a shiny metal pin on the end that plugs into Your Bike? Adapters for other Schwinn® and Nautilus® home fitness equipment can be ordered by phone at (800) 605-3369. Optional power adapter for the Schwinn® A40 elliptical, A10 and A15 upright bikes and A20 and A25 recumbent bikes. I hope that helps!
