  If the display console LEDs on your Life Fitness Exercise Bike do not extinguish in a timely manner after a workout, when the CLEAR key is pressed, or when pedaling stops, it could be due to a malfunctioning Alternator Control Board. Try testing with a substitute Alternator Control Board and replace the defective board if necessary. Another possible cause is a malfunctioning Display Console. Inspect the START key for damage or depression, and test with a substitute Display Console. Replace the malfunctioning Display Console if needed.

  If the battery is overheating during an exercise program on your Life Fitness Exercise Bike, several factors could be responsible. First, check if the battery wires are incorrectly connected, ensuring the red wire is connected to the positive (+) lead and the black wire to the negative (-) lead. Also, inspect the battery wires for wear and replace them or the harness if necessary. Check if the battery leads are grounding upon the frame, and if so, replace the battery. Lastly, a malfunctioning display console could be the cause; test with a substitute display console and replace if necessary.

  If the screen does not turn on and there is no audio on your Life Fitness Exercise Bike, it could be due to no power. Check the main cable for 5 & 12VDC, referring to the wiring diagram for pin locations. A faulty wire harness to the console could also be the cause, requiring replacement of the wire harness. Finally, the LCD could be defective, necessitating replacement of the LCD/TOUCH screen.

Why are the display console LEDs flickering on my Life Fitness Lifecycle LC9500?

  Inconsistent display console LEDs on your Life Fitness Exercise Bike can stem from several causes. You might be pedaling too slowly, so try to maintain a pace faster than 35 RPM. Insufficient battery voltage could also be the culprit; check the battery voltage (6.0 VDC minimum for LC9500, LC9100, and C9i models; 9.0 VDC minimum for LC8500 and C7 models) and replace the battery if needed. Loose wire connections or worn/damaged wire harnesses can also cause this issue, so inspect and reconnect any loose connections and replace any damaged harnesses. The display console, alternator control board, or alternator itself might be malfunctioning, requiring testing with substitutes and potential replacement. If the LEDs are not constant, check these components.

Why is it hard to pedal my Life Fitness Exercise Bike when it's off?
- S
  Seth LongSep 10, 2025
  If pedaling feels difficult, restricted, or impossible on your Life Fitness Exercise Bike before starting it (START key not pressed), it could be due to a malfunctioning Pulley Clutch Assembly. Inspect the clutch for free backward and forward rotation, and replace the malfunctioning Pulley Clutch or Freewheel if necessary. Alternatively, the Alternator Belt might be excessively tight. Inspect the belt deflection and adjust as necessary, aiming for a deflection of 1/4 inch (6mm).

  If you experience resistance variations during a MANUAL program on your Life Fitness Exercise Bike, there are a few potential causes. You might be pedaling too slowly, so try to maintain a pace faster than 35 RPM. Loose wire connections or worn or damaged harnesses could also be responsible, requiring you to inspect and reconnect any loose connections and replace any damaged harnesses. A malfunctioning display console could also be the cause. In this case, test with a substitute display console and replace if necessary.
