Unresponsive yoyo turned responsive?! HELP!
« on: November 28, 2011, 05:41:41 PM »

Hey guys please help nooby here...
I have this problem with my yoyo which I don't know but might go away with time.
Basically my one drop Cafe Racer used to be unresponsive apart from the occasional snag and I decided to use thin lube on the bearing.
put in 2 drops of the YYJ thin lube and now my CR pretty much comes to my hand with a normal tug?!? will this go away soon? I don't want
to have to buy a new bearing because of this but if it's not going to go away...
Because of this, my yoyo has a shorter sleep time and I get bruised knuckles from trying to do whips and suicides...

Any feedback is much appreciated, thanks guys!

I think it should break in soon. When you put lube into a bearing it causes slight friction which has caused your yoyo to be responsive. Just play it for a while or maybe clean out the bearing. Don't worry, your bearing can be fixed

I'm not too experienced with yoyo bearings but usually you clean out anything in the bearing including lube, leaving your bearing dry. That is cleaning.

After you clean the bearing, you can put the tiniest drop of lube on the tip of a strait pin and touch that to one of the balls in the bearing. That will give it enough lube and keep it unresponsive.

On the other hand, you might want to keep on playing responsive for the control it teaches.

Just like to say that my bearing has gone back to how it was (unresponsive) and even better! Just had to keep playing with it Tongue
