Check for cable corosion, and any bad ground or power on.

Several issues with the Polar unit, 1 if it is in the cold the unit does not work properly. 2. If your layering yourself the unit will not work properly. 3, If the unit is not place properly on the body and there is not sufficient moisture, the unit will not work properly.

The best that I can suggest is make sure that you have sufficient moisture on your body, hold the polar cs100 near your body till it detects a heartbeat, the place back on the bike.

If your layering do to weather, you may not get it to respond till spring. I know what a waste.

By the way I had the CS 200, and I can't begin to tell you how many of my riding buddies had the same issue that your talking about including me.

The situation with polar rarely has to do with with interference but with a weak transmitter.

Is it mounted on the handlebar? Try pushing down gently and then twist 90 degrees. It should come away from the bar mount. It attaches the same way in reverse. 

The CS100 is designed to only work off the front wheel. if you are using a trainer where the rear wheel is spinning and the front wheel is stationary you will get no reliable reading. if this was the case on the old bike, you got lucky, the system is not designed to read that way. Too far a distance between sensor and computer.

If you are moving the front wheel, as on rollers, and you are not getting a signal than either the sensor and the magnet are not reading each other (too far away from each other, as an example) or the sensor has a dead battery, or you have the bike sensor turned off in your settings.

what i think the problem is. when a battery (if battery operated) loses its life it wont hold charge i would get a new battery and replace it

clean your garage and you will have it. or try bike shops.

If your bicycle doesn't have mechanical gears, the issue might be related to the freewheel or cassette, depending on your bike's specific setup.

Standard WD40 is just a 'quick fix' as it isn't an actual oil unless the can is clearly labelled as "Bike All Condition Lubricant". It'll be best to buy a proper light oil like 3in1, 151 Super oil or an actual chain lube. This 'clickey' noise. Is it random and happening every so often or is it a constant, regular click that changes with the speed your pedalling at? Check for slack in the chain. as you wiggle the chain up and down there should only be about a centimetre of movement in the chain. If it's too slack or too tight it can make strange noises. Check the axle bolts and nuts to make sure they're not loose. Check the wheel is mounted straight. If it's turned left or right the chain will 'skip' as it's slightly missing the cog teeth on the wheel. Use the frame at the rear end of the wheel as reference and measure how far the side of the wheel is from the frame on both sides. It should be about the same both sides.
