How would I go about tuning a y-factor?
« on: March 25, 2011, 08:54:28 PM »

Hey guys,
so i recently got a one drop y-factor (in a trade) and i really like it but it's got a bit of vibe.

Could i use this method?

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/IUbDI1Oi9Uo&amp;ap=%2526fmt%3D18&amp;rel=0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/IUbDI1Oi9Uo&amp;ap=%2526fmt%3D18&amp;rel=0</a>


This video was made before the y-factor came out.  And the y-factor uses a different axle system.  I did try pushing on it and it didn't feel like it wanted to come out.  But i didn't want to try to hard for fear of damaging it if it really isn't ment to come out.

If i can't use that method then if you guys could suggest some other methods that might work that would be great.

So i hope someone can help me out here.  Thanks in advance,
Daivd

Use the setscrew method instead.

Use Loctite or Teflon tape to hold the setscrew more tightly in one side of the yo-yo. Then use a hex key to adjust the positioning of the axle. Screw it in or out a 1/4 turn. Check to see how smooth it is. Turn the axle another 1/4 turn in the same direction. Smoother? You should notice a point where it gets smoother. If you keep going, it will become less smooth. That is the smoothest point.
