No, because I don't like the noise dry bearings make.  I usually douse my bearing in thin lube and play it out.

I do not.  I prefer the way bearings play with a bit of thin YYJ lube in them.

I play mine mostly dry. About every 3rd or 4th time I clean one, I'll put a very small amount of YYJ Thin Lube and/or Terrapin Juce/Dust in it.

I used to play my bearings dry except for my AIGR bearings which do not seem to like being played dry, and a single ten ball that I like playing dry in my P2 because I like the way it sounds. Now I use V4M in all my bearings as it doesn't make the yoyo all responsive like YYJ thin lube does. I don't use lube on my ceramic bearings ever. Like others, I only clean my bearings when something gets inside.
