My flywheel is very noisy. Is there anything that can be done to quiet it? I think it may be the resistance pads.

I dont know for sure, but from my experience I dont think there is anything that can be done. If it is a newer bike they might break in and quiet down.

Hi, B.Y. Mauldin,I had the a similar problem. I don't believe that machine is "tuned up" or it might have gotten off alignment during delivery. I have added washers where the flywheel is attached. With the intent to straighten out the eye-bolts that hold it down. This helped a little. I also replaced one of the eye-bolts with a thicker one. I just went to the hardware store to select one that had a similar hole and bolt length. Always keep the machine stable and when you tighten the bolts holding the flywheel, makes sure it's aligned/straight with the frame. I will actually be adding rubber washers next week to mine. Hoping to damper a bit of the vibration that goes into the floor. Hope this helps! Hi, B.Y. Mauldin,I had the a similar problem.

I spray the resistance pads with WD-40. The pads also last longer that way. My 2 cents.

We bought one in November. The flywheel is fine and it rides ok. The wheels which slide on the back right side make a hissing noise but that's the only negative. The resistance is fantastic as is the the pre-programmed rides. Hope this help. I would buy it again if that helps

It shouldn't be that loud! Mine is roughly a month old and it's only "noisy" when it it isn't full of water. Try filling to the max, if that doesnt help try cleaning the motor. Other than that it could be a bad motor......

Never heard one of those but I'm gonna say no. My Borla if fairly quiet unless your on throttle if call it moderate

Hi Patricia...I had the same thing happen to mine but the high pitched noise eventually occurred on all of the speeds. It was not constant...it would come and go but it was very annoying. Couldn't figure out a way to get into the unit to see what was going on. Seemed to me to be some sort of lubrication issue. In any event we really liked the air purifier so we just purchased a new one. It works great and it's one of the least expensive on the market.

Probably depending on your wheel size. Resistance wheel is adjustable. Might want to check w/ the company for specifics. Ya, don't stand up on the pedals. Same thing happened (fell over). Also, I took off the wind resistance wheel on the right side. Very noisy. Otherwise a great product.

I wish I could help you but mine is very quiet, in fact I remarked to my husband about how quiet it was.Good luck with this problem.

I don't remember it being loud, just a little motorized noise. You should return it and have it replaced if it's loud! Good luck!:)

No I haven't exprienced this issue. My problem was the wheel started to get very squeaky. I sprayed a little WD-40 in it & it's working fine now :-)

My machine does the same thing on the left wheel. It's due to the screw becoming loose. If you tighten it up..the noise will go away. If it returns, it'd more than likely a stripped screw. I am currently in the process of trying to repair mines :(

Hi...i had a different problem...my sound was like the pads were glued in the rotors after some breaking times the noise went away. I keep the kit installed and this noise disappeared after couple months of use but this disappointed me. I expect a better performance but its a nice kit!

Don't know because mine is not noisy. Maybe you should call the owner/manufacturer and ask. He is very helpful and nice to do business with.

We too had the jar of red wheel bearing grease. However, it was the bolts. My husband was obviously and over achiever in putting it together and made sure it was good and tight. However, when the bolts were loosened the noise totally stopped and there hasn't been the slightest squeek since. Good Luck!

I make sure to place lube on the track and I sprayed WD40 were the "pedals" can be adjusted. I also took the plastic covering off were the arms attach and realized it was the source of some of the noise. I WD40'd that area and replaced the covers. The noise or grinding sound stopped. Occassionally I still spray WD40 on the pedals. Ultimately you can call in the warranty folks for some troubleshooting if it is still a problem for you. I have had my elliptical for over a year and aside from the occassional noise it gets a lot of use!

Found the problem with mine. Either the top of the motor or the belt were making occasional contact with the belt cap retainer. I greased the inside or the belt cap retainer and the noise is gone.

I'd also suggest making sure all the bolts are tight. They loosen up over time and I find that giving them a quick tightening occasionally helps reduce squeaking noises.

Well mine is high speed and too loud to talk around and does not move much air considering the speed.Next time ill try a low speed belt drive they are quiet and move more air.Very disappointed with my Q standard!
