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.
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?
+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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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
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
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
+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.
+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.
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?
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?
yotricks ok Tge past two yoyos I’ve ordered were both unresponsive and I didn’t lube them. They played great and then 2-3 days later the bearing made a lot of noise and it played responsive!!
That sound about what I would expect (even though some bearings can last much longer without lube). Just make sure you don't put in too much lube, or your yoyo will start acting responsive anyway.
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.
ItsMyGame100 I would only recommend using the cleaners we discussed. Many cleaning products can damage the bearing in your yoyo, or the yoyo itself, which is why yoyoers limit themselves to those cleaners we mentioned.
ok. I saw a comment you responded to in this video yesterday saying that they're able to use nail polish remover. I tried it on my dv888 bearing. And, it works nicely now :)
Luca Jimenez It depends on the kinds of tricks you want to do, and how much you want to spend. If you want a yoyo that is good for responsive and unresponsive tricks we recommend the Sage. If you are looking at unresponsive yo-yoing only, we would recommend the Replay Pro. yoyotricks.com/yoyo-store/yotricks/the-sage-yoyo-pro-pack/ yoyotricks.com/yoyo-store/yoyofactory/replay-pro-yoyo-players-pack/
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/
I believe it will work, but if I am not mistaken it is usually diluted with water, so it may cause rusting. That is why we recommend more pure solvents like mineral spirits.
slightly unrelated question. Do different brands of bearings really affect sleep time assuming they are the same style? does a 10 ball bearing sleep longer than an 8 ball?
Hi yotricks I'm going to order a YYF Shutter and I'm so exited! I live in canada and I wanted to order the yoyo tomarrow. How long will it take to ship through "priority mail"?
100 percent is the best but if you can get citrus cleaner it would be better trust me I cleaned my bearings no sound comes out of them the brand of the citrus cleaner that I use is by purple power but its citrus cleaner or orange power something like that I
100 percent alcohol so they won't rust or leave humidity come on yo tricks I'm going to post a vid of me showing the best and safest way to clean bearings ok😀but first buy citrus cleaner the bottle is orange and says citrus cleaner or orange power by the creators of purple power if you live in the U.S. go to Wal-Mart go to car parts or cleaner/ solvents area and look for it ok
There really is not. That is the main reason yoyo companies started making thin yoyo lube. Any other lube on the market is too thick, so it will make your yoyo play responsive.
Hi yotricks! Yesterday I got my sage pro pack from your store, but when I put my size-c/center trac (I don't know what one it is called) it still played responsive. I have not lubed or cleaned it, is that the problem? Thanks in advance!
+C-Borg Productions Try lubing the bearing the way we show in our lube video (link below) and see if that helps. Also, try using a new string. Finally, after you throw the yoyo, before you test it is is unresponsive, touch the yoyo to reduce vibrations and see if it is still responsive. If none of that works contact us through the contact page on the website and let us know what is happening. ua-cam.com/video/auLK7AsGOhA/v-deo.html
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.
yotricks well my yoyo bearing is already fucked because it playing responsive when it is unresponsive. it like a shitty cheap thing i got online but like the bearing keeps getting all this gunk on it and i tried cleaning it off but it think its fucking the bearing. was just wondering if this might be able to help D:
What I have found is most sponsored players do not lube their bearings since they get them for free, so it doesn't really matter if they last a long time or not. We recommend cleaning, playing with the clean bearing for 30-60 minutes, then lubing.

What else can I use instead of lighter fluid?
Any type of solvent will work. I believe we mention a few in the video.
If you are using nail polish remover, does it have to be 100% acetone? Or does any work.
My guess is it would be better if it was 100%.
+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.

Just throw it away if not then yeah put it back

So will the bearing spin faster/play better if it is deshielded or if it is shielded?
Ethan Thai It makes no difference to play if the bearing is shielded or de-shielded.
