    Hi Carter. I found your video and i believe that my servo motor is also cooked. You mentioned that the new part was around 24 dollars. I am doing some searching and I am only seeing motors for around 135 or more. Did the price just increase that much over the years or am I looking at the wrong places. I am also in Canada.

    How can I lower my resistance it only goes up

  • @pika751

    Sorry this comment is very late, but it would be helpful if you could answer this. Me and my dad both use this max trainer, and he uses a program I’m not sure about, and I always use max interval. I always choose the level 4 resistance for max interval, and I could always average around 16.1-16.7 calories burnt per minute(note we did mess with the resistance awhile back because the motor broke). But now I can sometimes only average 15.1-15.6, or sometimes even 17.8-18.1. I’m not sure why, but the only thing I can note and why I don’t think it’s just me having on and off days is that when ever my dad goes on and I do the max interval, let’s say the resistance feels easy. The resistance will feel easy until he goes on it again, and then maybe it will feel hard, normal, or easy. It’s very random, do you know why or how to fix it?

    The servo motor on the Max5 started knocking which meant that it was toast. I used another YT video to replace it. When I tried to check it by setting the burn rate (is this the resistance?), to 16 I had to hop down and look fast because the machine sent it back to the 1 position. The readouts on this machine are complete confusion. Having 2 dots gets you something like a 4 resistance and having 3 dots gets you 16? One YT video talks about the internet being swamped with these machines simply based on their readout and methods to change the resistance. I note that the resistance changes when I hold burn rate down, but nothing happens when I hold down resistance level buttons. The owner's manual doesn't even mention these buttons. I can get it to work but the logic to get it to work the way I want it to by using the adjustment buttons will not get me there. Next time, I'll spend more to get something that isn't off the rails.

    @GetCart3r I have the same issue with my M7. I noticed that even at 1, the magnet is almost fully inside the disc. I rotated the white thing to the next groove. Now, at 20 (highest setting), the magnet is covered only about 75%. This I guess means that 20 for me is what 16 should be. I guess I need to fine tune with the top or bottom screw, but I'm finding both impossible to turn. I'm a bit confused as to what I should be turning.... is it the nuts on both sides of the board, or the thing above it? Any details about the fine tuning process would be great. This is already a lot more usable though.... levels 1-7 are the same, but then from there to 20, I get differing resistance. And this is much more usable than before where level 3 equated to 20.

    This was most helpful. Even the call Bowflex for the part replacement tip. $18.73 including shipping. The customer service rep said bowflex was keeping the servo price low because it is a common part needing replacement. 5-10 year life span. I priced around other places before calling bowflex. A lot of companies is selling the same part for $89.90. Thanks M Carter.

    My machine has 37 hours use and this part has failed. The UK distributer wants £55 ($76) for the part delivered. I asked if the part came with any guarantee, as they seem to fail easily. The answer was no, so if you are considering one of these machines, I would say consider something else with a better reliability record. A product is only as good as its weakest component and this motor is CHEESE!

    Added tip. The easiest way to get easy access to make the adjustments is to remove the magnet wheel. Its get three screws which are really easy to remove and screw back on. the wheel just pops right off and can be slotted back into place.
