great video! I cannot believe how much this improved playability more than just lubing. I've been yo-yoing for about 5 months and acquired about 15 throws, did this to all of them and it fixed yo-yos that had vibe, loud bearings, low spin times and everything its like a whole new collection. :)
shake it in a pill jar works much better. And you don't get all the fumes. I just put 3/4 mineral spirits 1/4 three in one oil. I use that as my cleaner and lube. good video though just saying my method.
Thanks. This was the video I was looking for. Had trouble with nearly all my bearings and normal cleaning didn't make it better. Paper method rescued them and saved me a lot of money. Awesome video !!
GerTodesengel I'm glad it worked for you. When I was first shown this method I was amazed by how well it worked. The longer you can keep your bearings working the better, I say!
There is no point in lubing the bearing before cleaning it, because the cleaning will just remove the lube. That being said, no, nothing bad will happen.
+yotricks I just got a yyf shutter and a day ago it suddenly started playing responsive. It makes a grinding noise. I've cleaned my bearing several times but it's only unresponsive for about 20 mins then it just smacks my hand because it goes responsive. How can I make it unresponsive for a good long time?
If you have pliers put the bearing in the circle part so that it stays in place. Makes it much easier, as the bearing doesnt spin when you try to deshield it.
+Joel Oelze You should be able to push the bolt right through the yoyo so that the cap pops off. Once you have replaced the bolt you can push the cap back into place.
My responsive yoyo began to only sleep for a few seconds, so I cleaned it using the first method in the video, and now it spins great! However, my yoyo isn't (reliably) responsive anymore. I'm 90% certain it's because I haven't lubed it (I'm waiting for it to arrive in the mail), but I want to confirm my suspicions. Thoughts? Also, I think it's great that you reply to all the comments. Not all youtubers with channels your size can keep up with this many!
hey yo watch out when you take the c clamp off be very sure you know where it goes. its is so light and small. i spent a solid 30 mins cleaning my desk to find it
Do you do the same thing for a responsive barring pleas help me I axidently put thin yoyo lube in a responsive barring for my sage and now it won't come up what do I do it's pretty frustrating
Hello! Thanks a lot for the video, it is extremely useful. But, I have a Colossus 3 from topyo and suddenly, it started making a really loud noise. I bought it yesterday, and it is very difficult to open the yoyo. What should I do to stop the bearing from making that sound?
second, I would to know if Oracle yoyo need a hard maintained check up if in one day I play loop the loop for 100 counts. you see, every spinner has it owns specialty in yoyo tricks & I found that my specialty is Loop the loop 'cause I like to count how many I can make. so the question is if every day i play loop the loop for about 100 counts loop, do I need to change the strings, or to clean the bearing or lube the bearing very often? or could you recommend a good looping yoyo that doesn't need check ups very often..
+Gunslinger Syayo If you lube the oracle and put on a new string you should be able to get several thousand loops before you will need to lube the yoyo again or restring it. It is not a high-maintenance yoyo.
thank you so much for all tutorials Yotricks. I was wondering do I de- shield both sides of the bearing to clean it or just one? also do u happen to know if thin lube goes bad after a while? I've had my thin lube bottle for almost 4year
+Zheen Bahadin You do not need to replace the C-clip or the shield. Do not remove the plastic. I believe Kerosene will work, but I have not tried it myself.
In my opinion, paper clean is the best, if you clean more than 20 times with paper. Believe me its better, faster and it spins longer and its safer. Works well with over lube bearing, or if it gets dirty(like black gunk). Only use acetone or spirit, if it gets too much dirty (like if you drop on dirt or sand) or got rust. If its minor problem then paper is the best.
+Joseph Lacy There is no easy way to remove a bearing without a multitool that does not have great potential to scratch your yoyo or damage the bearing. You can try to gently rock the bearing off with pliers, but it may end up damaging the bearing or the yoyo.
Joseph Lacy One thing I have found that helps prevent damage while using pliers to remove a bearing is to wrap a strip of paper towel around the exposed bearing quite a few times to create a pad. This still allows me to get a decent grip on the bearing with the pliers without (as much) risk to the bearing. Still not as good as the mutlitool but so far I have found it effective.
After I did the research for all types of bearing, plus a conversation I had with an owner of the smoking store, the best liquid to clean them would be the auto break cleaner !!!!! Try it !!!
I need help, so first I used the paper cleaning method which made the yoyo spin smoothly. Then when I put the bearing in lighter fluid, it made it spin less.
I was wondering why my brand new shutter was playing so horribly, lo and behold when I cleaned my bearing I saw paint shavings from opening it and removing the bearing a few times before 😂
It actually did surprisingly enough and now my bearing which I thought might have been broken now spins better than any other bearing I've ever had I'm kinda shocked
yotricks after the whole process do I need to put the c clip and the metal shield back on? also my bearing has a metal shield on one side and a transparent plastic one on the other side, should I try to remove the plastic thing too? and can I use kerosene instead of lighter fluid?
I have this smaller-than-C bearing that has this black-ish corrosion on the outside. I've soaked it in metal polish (white spirits) for more than half an hour and there is very little, if any, improvement. How do I fix this? Does it even affect play if the corrosion is on the outside ring?
+SolaceAndBane Most likely if you see that corrosion, then the inside of the bearing is corroded as well. That being said, if the yoyo plays fine I would not worry about it.
My Another Eagle has been making a very loud noise. Do I need to lube or clean? If lube, is it thin lube? If clean, do I have to clean the spacer as well?
yuta inoue Most of the time lube will make a yoyo play quieter, but not always. If it is an unresponsive yoyo then you will want to use thin lube.yoyotricks.com/yoyo-store/yoyo-lube/yotricks-thin-yoyo-lube/
This is a public service anouncement. I hope that Yotricks will update this video, because it's worng about using lighter fluid. This needs to change in the Yoyo community. USE 100% acetone! Don't use lighter fluid, and Don't use carb cleaner!!! I've done the research, and talked to a friend that has a master's degree in Biology (with a good understanding of chemistry.) Pure Acetone is the safest of these options, the human body can actually break down small amounts of acetone with no ill effects. It is easy to dispose of, pour a small amount on concrete and it evaporates. Lighter Fluid is too expensive and not water-soluable, and is highly toxic to the body and needs to be disposed of properly, DO NOT POUR IT DOWN THE DRAIN! And don't use carb cleaner FFS! It's worse than Lighter fluid, and its carcinogenic. Both lighter fluid and carb cleaner are extremely bad for the environment, and they are both very unhealthy for the human body to be exposed to. And while you shouldn't be drinking bottles of acetone, the body can handle and break this chemical down. Acetone, is also the cheapest of all the options and is readily available at any drug store or hardware store. If anyone has a background in science, please chime in and let me know if this is correct.
I've had a protostar for about 5 months. I've only played with it inside and its started acting up. I have tried cleaning my bearing because it was being responsive. Nothing is really working...any tips?
My bearing has started to spin less and makes a much more, Grindy sound. Is this a sign that I need to clean it? FYI, it’s the bearing I got from my replay pro. I also already used lube
Usually that indicates that it is time to lube it again. If you tried that and it didn't help, try a little more. If that doesn't help, or if it makes things works, then clean it.
I did just the paper triangle method and my yoyo is still making a loud sound when spinning. Did I not do it thoroughly enough or should I just try the lighter fluid method?
I know its normal for the bearing to get that black gunk stuff, but is it normal for it to get the yoyo spacers? On my Skyhawks, they are just covered with that stuff, the spacers I mean. Do you know how to get rid of that by any chance?
Tommy Behney That black gunk is the lube that came in the bearing (I believe), so it makes sense that it leaches out onto the spacers. If you continue to lube the bearing with thin yoyo lube eventually this will stop leaching out of the bearing. It should just wipe off.
What should I do if my unresponsive yoyo (Winter solstice) is starting to respond when being pulled up? I've only had it for a week or 2 and I can't get my grinds going because whenever I pull it up to my hand to grind, the string just begins to wind up the yoyo/snag without me doing a bind. This only starting happening about 5 days ago and It's really frustrating and I've tried switching strings and cleaning/lubing my bearing but it just made it worse. It's too responsive is my point. All the videos I could find talk about a yoyo not responding well enough but I can't seem to figure out how to stop it from snagging/responding. HELP!
after i clean the bearing... can i not lube it? i find that lubing(even 1 drop of lube) is no fun since i have to play with it awhile to make is 100% unresponsive.
If you bearing is not staying perfectly unresponsive when you lube it that means you are putting it too much lube. However, if you are using our lube all you need to do is throw it very hard a few times and let it spin out when you are doing tricks and it will become unresponsive again.
Is there an easy way to temporarily remove the sage yoyo's plastic disc that the logo is printed on? I need to get to the hex bolt so I can replace it with the new one I ordered.
i am trying to clean the bearing in the flight yoyo and the spacer with the bearing on it is not coming out i used a yoyofactory multitool and a pair of pliers but it wont budge, any tips?
I done this once with a large machine bearing when I was a kid, two hours and four rolls of paper towels later, come to find out when they take those bearings out, they are absolutely worn out, plus my mom was pretty pissed all the paper towels was gone!
On smaller bearings like that it is almost impossible to remove the C clip. I would just do the first part of the cleaning method with the shields on and see if that helps.
+Zane Everett The solvent should never touch the yoyo, the bearing should be completely dried out before you put it back in the yoyo. We give several options for solvents in the video.
I don't understand, I just recieved a sage yoyo because my Fizz yoyo's bearing was all sorts of messed up then I get the sage and the bearing still doesn't spin smoothly even when I put lube on it. What is the problem???
Hii I Cleaned the Bearing like you mentioned.... But still when I sleep my Replay Pro it makes a little sound and comes back again Like a responsive yoyo. Its only been an week Since I purchased it.
Yotricks, I used CTX for quite a while and it only spins for 3 seconds after I lubed it. Should I clean it? (I lubed it correctly and yoyo is completely unresponsive)
I had a bearing that I messed around with some wd 40 before I knew about yoyo lube and it became almost silent but I dont know whether it spins less or not but it spins around 38 seconds on average(its a kk bearing that is responsive....I think anyway)
Yotricks.Before I clean the bearing,my yoyo is unreponsive.But after I clean the bearing my yoyo stays a unresponsive for about 5 hours.Then it begins to be responsive.What should I do?
Hey @yotricks, should i buy a new yoyo bearing? Because my yoyo is fake and all parts in it are fake.. I want more sleeping because my yoyo is sleeping about 10-20 seconds
You can use pliers and try to gently wiggle the bearing free. This will work with most yoyos and bearings, but it can easily damage the yoyo if you are not careful.
hey yotricks!! I have a few question regarding yoyo. first, I'm very impressed with The Sage yoyo & it play really smooth but after a few play, I noticed the sage yoyo regularly became unresponsive, it doesn't matter if I clean it or lube it even 2 drops on bearing. a few play on one day, on one day I just pratice to do roller coaster. it became unresponsive so quickly man.what happen actually? it make me feels no in good mood to play man.
+Gunslinger Syayo If you would like to be able to lube the Sage less often and still have it play perfectly responsive I suggest you try using thicker string. For us the thick HighEndString lasts a very long time in the Sage and plays more responsive with less lube than regular string. yoyotricks.com/yoyo-store/yoyo-string/high-end-yoyo-string/
Hi yo tricks I have had a yoyo for about 6 months it is auldey space fire fox and I didn't play with the yoyo for about 3 months so the bearings are not spinning at all so what should I do
Thanks now i know theres the sheild now so now my replay pro and DV888 amd the sage unresponsive one is fixed now my bearing is not making weird sound so yea
+Darkmage40 You are correct, it is so difficult to get the shields back on it is not worth the effort. Also, with the shields off the bearings are more prone to get dirt and particles on the inside.
+yotricks that's a bummer but I had to do it cause a hair got inside of it and just with lighter fluid it was not getting away :( Thanks for the reply!
DiAL033 do you mean ultrasonic ? If so yes they do work great but most (affordable ones ) have plastic parts not recommended to be used with industrial solvents and the like ! But you can put bearing in a small glass screw top jar with acetone and then put this in the ultrasonic solution and not dissolve the basket and liners etc.

One thing I have found that helps prevent damage while using pliers to remove a bearing is to wrap a strip of paper towel around the exposed bearing quite a few times to create a pad.

I had a bearing that I messed around with some wd 40 before I knew about yoyo lube and it became almost silent but I dont know whether it spins less or not but it spins around 38 seconds on average(its a kk bearing that is responsive....I think anyway)
Becase unresponsive bearing are diffrent then responive so do u clean them diffrent
+Yesica Acevedo No.
my shield broke when i was taking it off, will the bearing work properly if i dojn't put it back on?
Can u do a video on cleanig a responsive yoyo bearing
+Yesica Acevedo Most of the time you do not need to clean responsive bearings, but if you want to, this method will work.
+yotricks do I have to lube it? Because I need to clean and have no lube currently and what lube would u use for Offstring play?
btw the yoyo am talking about is the volcity and yes it is turned to pro
Have you lubed the bearing with thin yoyo lube?
My yoyo bearing is very quiet and does not spin like it did before I am assuming this will help
It should, yes.
yotricks thank you soooooooo much
Yotricks.Before I clean the bearing,my yoyo is unreponsive.But after I clean the bearing my yoyo stays a unresponsive for about 5 hours.Then it begins to be responsive.What should I do?
How often are you lubing the bearing after you clean it?
Do you guys have any idea if a Yomega Raider bearing has a removable C clip and shields? I'm having trouble finding the space to fit the pin in.
Hey @yotricks, should i buy a new yoyo bearing? Because my yoyo is fake and all parts in it are fake.. I want more sleeping because my yoyo is sleeping about 10-20 seconds
Renox TV If your yoyo is fake it sounds like you may want to get a new yoyo.
I have rust how do I take it off?
+yotricks let the lighter fluid evaporate in the end?
+ENDER SQUID Yes.
Can you use like lighter fluid to grease it up for unresponsive play? My one stars bearing was like this.
+Big Pooter Lighter fluid is used to clean bearings, it does not lubricate the bearing.
K. Thank you
Hey Ik this is a long time ago but how to get the bearing off without using the removal tool cuz I don't have one
You can use pliers and try to gently wiggle the bearing free. This will work with most yoyos and bearings, but it can easily damage the yoyo if you are not careful.
@@yotricks oh I already did that XD but ok thx and thx for this vid now it's clean again
What if there r a lot of oils and sticky things in it, can this method clean it?
Akuseru It should work. You might need to put it in the cleaner a few times, though.
hey yotricks!! I have a few question regarding yoyo.
first, I'm very impressed with The Sage yoyo & it play really smooth but after a few play, I noticed the sage yoyo regularly became unresponsive, it doesn't matter if I clean it or lube it even 2 drops on bearing. a few play on one day, on one day I just pratice to do roller coaster. it became unresponsive so quickly man.what happen actually? it make me feels no in good mood to play man.
+Gunslinger Syayo If you would like to be able to lube the Sage less often and still have it play perfectly responsive I suggest you try using thicker string. For us the thick HighEndString lasts a very long time in the Sage and plays more responsive with less lube than regular string.
yoyotricks.com/yoyo-store/yoyo-string/high-end-yoyo-string/
+yotricks so then I check up ur link to ur websites, and the thick high end string yoyo already sold out. so when the next will be available?
Hi yo tricks I have had a yoyo for about 6 months it is auldey space fire fox and I didn't play with the yoyo for about 3 months so the bearings are not spinning at all so what should I do
Clean the bearing, like we show in this video. If that doesn't work, you will need to replace the bearing.
Thanks so much I appreciate your help
Thanks now i know theres the sheild now so now my replay pro and DV888 amd the sage unresponsive one is fixed now my bearing is not making weird sound so yea
how to lube the bearing when there is no shields on the bearing?
The same way you do when there are shields.
i want to get a yoyo which is good for off string tricks between 0 to 50 dollars
which one shall i go for?
the flight
I guess once you get the C rings and shield off you cannot put it back in right? Does that mean it will get stuff stuck inside of it now ?
+Darkmage40 You are correct, it is so difficult to get the shields back on it is not worth the effort. Also, with the shields off the bearings are more prone to get dirt and particles on the inside.
+yotricks that's a bummer but I had to do it cause a hair got inside of it and just with lighter fluid it was not getting away :( Thanks for the reply!
will lighter flued or mineral spirits or acetone or paint thinner will destroy plastic
Lighter Fluid and Mineral Spirits will work as well.
Should i put the c clip on the bearing after i cleaning it ?
No need.
do you have to put the shield back in or just throw it away
You don't need to put them back on.
i am scared that the needle will prick my finger when i take out my c clip
Joker Loc Hey yeah im scared but that finger im talking about is my non yoyohand and my needy is too big
Yotricks, sewing machine oil will work?
I have heard it can, but I have not tried it myself.
Ok, i will try.
If you happen to have one of those super-sonic contact-lens cleaners, use that, they work wonders.
DiAL033 do you mean ultrasonic ? If so yes they do work great but most (affordable ones ) have plastic parts not recommended to be used with industrial solvents and the like ! But you can put bearing in a small glass screw top jar with acetone and then put this in the ultrasonic solution and not dissolve the basket and liners etc.
@yoyotricks I just got the one drop eclipse and the bearings just fall out they are not held in strongly
That is not unusual. It should not be a problem.
can you clean 2 bearing at once in the jar
+Amirul Akmal Indeed.
Hi, I can't seem to find the c clip opening of my zannavi size A bearing, what should I do?
