I have a 201 Schwinn Recumbent Exercise Bike, that I have been quite happy with for about 2 years now.
However, recently the resistance is failing - I believe it is a magnetic resistance system - and there is a slight difference between the weakest and hardest settings, but not like there should be.
Any help / suggestions, or even where I can find a repair manual?

Manual has assembly/maintenance instructions and a 1-page description of functionality. And a warranty card...that is printed on the back of the instruction page. *headslap*

The problem might be the gearbox. I know because I have the same problem. Keys fitness is out of business, but "The Treadmill Doctor" has purchased the inventory of parts for the bikes. They will help you troubleshoot, and have parts available if you need them. The number is 1-888-340-0482. Or, you can go to treadmilldoctor.com.

Just oil the area of magnetic resistance and if the problem continues then contact nearer repairer.

I have the same problem. I could not change the resistance, although it changed on it's own. I pressed the + and - resistance buttons together, and now it doesn't change at all. I assume I shorted something out.
