Polar Speed Sensor Set Cs Series with Bike Mount Questions & Answers
Teaching sensor for polar 800sd
Hi Wandawang,
I'm going to respond assuming the sensor you are referring to is the S3 stride sensor. If I am wrong, please let me know.
The S3 stride sensor uses a 2.4gHz frequency so when teaching the new sensor to the RS800 be sure to stay away from electrical equipment like cordless phones, wireless internet..etc.. This could be your issue.
Another issue could be that when replacing the battery, you bent the battery contacts in the sensor. So now the battery is not making a good contact with the sensor. You can fix this by taking the battery out of the sensor, and looking at the battery contact on the outer edge of the compartment. Take a pen, or small pair of pliers and bend those contacts back towards the battery. Place the battery back in, making sure the "open" is lined up to the "open" line on the battery cap. Insert the cap from the back end first and put pressure where the open symbol is to close the cap.
If this does not solve your issue, please contact us directly at www.polarusa.com.
Best regards,

I cannot get the computer
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.
Tomahawk E Series Exercise bike loud peddling sound
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.

New Balance 6100 Recumbent Bike making a clanking noise when pedaling
I have done a tremendous amount of research on this problem. New Balance (Fitness Quest) is out of business as of late 2012 and no parts are available. The main bearing or crank bearing set is 100% compatible with Proform part number 295560. Since New Balance put their name on this product, they have stated they will reimburse customers for the repairs.
