Why does the bike make a very loud squeaking sound on the right front side? It was very quiet for the first few uses, but then squeak started up.

I think it has something to do with the way the pedal is connected to the main unit. Mine did the same thing and then parts started to become detached on all sides of the unit. I would say I got a good four months out of it, between waiting for replacement pieces and repairs, and have been looking for something new.

Before replacing it, I took my bike completely apart. Most likely cause: you need to add grease (not provided) to the right swing arm axle. You may also have over or under tightened the connections on that side.

Just assembled it. Right wheel was squeaking. I unscrewed both the wheels and noticed the one squeaking is loose because it was defective. Unscrew just the 2 wheels and compare side by side, check if one of them has a deeper hole or not. Will be trying to order the defective part. Wish me luck.

It's well could be swing plate gear worn out which making the noises. This is kind of a known problem.Google it, and you are going to find plenty of informations. Following is the part I order to fix this problem.4200/4300/4250 Swing Plate Assmebly

The only squeak I ever hear is the rare noise from one of the metal bars that go across the bottom for support. Even then, it's rare and a muted sound. It's more like the bar "re-adjusts" with how it's slotted on the ends. By comparison to every other bed I've had with traditional frames, wooden headboards, etc. it doesn't make enough noise to cause concern. Even while doing the bone dance. Hope this helps!

This machine started off quiet, but soon after started squeaking at the handles. I live in a house so no neighbors to bother but I still use a mat under it. The main noise for me are the handles that squeak at random. Not a really big deal for me. I still love it. Good luck!!

It does have a plastic housing so there may be some cracking noises but to tell you the true, it wasn't enough that I was upset about it. This is one of the quietest bikes I have ever had! I love it.

Mine doesn t squeak! The springs provided with this swing are very high quality. My lack of squeak may be how it's hung -- I have heavy chain wrapped around an iron pipe, and the springs are hooked into this. Perhaps other methods of hanging will create more noise. I suggest trying it out and then evaluating your need for squeak suppression.

Oil the squeaky areas, the front wheel was the squeakiest in my experience. Any type of oil works but not Pam sprays.

I have had this frame for about 2 years now and it squeaks a lot. Right now I am looking to change this bed frame because of that.

if you have been lubricating it, it shouldnt make the sound. You can lubricate it even now. While doing so, you can celar the squeaking sound by adjusting the treadmill speed using the screws provided. It should be available near the leg of your tread mill at the very end. Have you ever tried that?

It seems that this is normal with the new version of the bike. You can see from many reviews that many people now complain about the clicking sound. We just purchased one (Oct 2014) which had the clicking.

I can't say that mine squeaks. There is a little rubbing noise, but not a squeak.

Do you still like the bike? Does it make much noise? One reviewer mentioned a thunking noise.

I have three of these on different bikes...I have never heard the noise you describe from any of them.

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 would also suspect defective. I can't remember anything about the setup that I would suspect could lead to squeaking. If anything, I think improper set up would lead to an unbalanced swing or poor range of motion but not squeaking. Have you tried to turn the motor on without the other parts attached? If it still makes the sound that would help confirm a defective motor.

ive only been using mine for 2 weeks........but no noise.......were the "stems" that you hooked the pedals to greased?.....maybe they need a bit of grease
