Wondering what are the best yoyos today? Check out our up-to-date list: YoYoTricks.com/BestYoyos/

Thank you so much yotricks! I got my lube just now and it worked perfectly! It was smooth and not responsive anymore. It is also quiet! You are awsome!

Thanks for all the videos - they've been a great source and help during learning. There's one thing I can't recall hearing about from you guys, that caused me a lot of confusion - that is how tight you want to screw a yoyo together. What I found is (suprisingly enough) that it should be more loose than tight. Only then it (One Star from yoyofactory in my case) can sleep as long as it does in your videos. And that's the effect only after I actually learned to throw it straight and also aplied some yoyo lube (thin one, to be precise). Once again thanks for all your work ;)

Great vid! I can see how genuine you were when teaching!

I had been looking for a similar video or info about how often to lub the bearing for soooo long and I never found any info until now, thanks a lot. As always great video! I have been yoyoing for a very long time and I always watch your videos, thanks a lot!

Oh and thanks this video was pretty helpful lol.

+00 Sneddon We discuss this problem specifically in the video. Did it not answer your questions?

Thanks! Just got the sage Yoyo today in the mail in the starter pack, and was kind of wondering how the lube worked

Can i use either the yyf performance oil[long spin] or the one V4M bearing lube for an unresponsive yoyo Eg.Replay pro...

+yoyotricks I got a sage for my birthday and didn't lube it after I got it for about a week so when I watched this video I put some lube on it. I put the same amount you said to put on it but now it's playing responsive I'm trying to learn finger grinds but it keeps coming back up. so I Waited a while, now it's been a week and it's still playing responsive. plz, help this is so frustrating.

The day after Christmas Eve I ordered a Duncan roadrunner form yoyotricks.com I’m in Canada I’m so excited for it to arrive!!!😄

+TheFerret55 You can upgrade the bearing, swap out the response pads and put in a longer bolt to make it unresponsive. We include all these parts in our DV888 unresponsive kit if you want to see what they are. yoyotricks.com/yoyo-store/yoyofactory/dv888-yoyo-unresponsive-pro-pack/

yotricks, can you make a video teaching how to remove rust from yoyo bearings ?

is it necessary to remove the bearing shield when lubing?

+Guillermo Aznar Are you using the Paper Cleaning method when you clean the bearing? If so you may not be waiting long enough to lube the bearing, or you may be over lubing the bearing.

thanks for the helpful vid yoyotricks, is it better to take off the shield n C clip n apply the lube directly to the bearing? only asking as my friend does this, thanks...

Too late for my bearing. :( Wish I had seen this video earlier. Going to have to order a new one.

I over lubed my velocity yoyo and now it's playing responsive when i set it to pro. What should I do to fix that?

hey I have a fidget spinner with a yo-yo bearing can I use the thin lube that you just used .

I'm using the YoYoFactory Performance Oil. When I did all the steps, the yoyo spun just like before; making the same pitched sound and only slightly longer spin time. My yoyo was starting to run dry, so I put a drop in on both sides.

+awesome stuff Baby oil will make your unresponsive yoyo play responsive.

i lubed 2 times does that mean it going to take longer

Just a question: I've been wanting to upgrade my Protostar to a KonKave bearing. Do I just pop that in and I'm done, or is there more to it?

Do center track c bearings have shields- if they do do i need to take it off before applying lube?

I ordered a sage and a dv888 on Wednesday. When will it come

Lubing oils are very costly in India 😢

Just a question: Why did you use plastic yoyos before (the Luminator) when you were that good?

My yoyo has started to whir a bit, and I don't want to damage the bearing, but don't really want to wait a week for some lube to come in. I'll likely buy some lube with my next purchase, but in the meantime, will mineral oil be a good substitute?

I want to ask something. I heard many Lube method where you have to remove the bearing shield and C-lock thingy. Does the removal really necessary or does it make any different from lubing without the shield removed?

Hey yotricks I know this isn't really relevant to the video, but I figured since it is a new one I would get feedback lol. How offer If at all do you guys compete? I specifically want to see Adam because I haven't seen a video of him doing a freestyle or anything. I just thought it would be kind of cool to see what you guys can do.

I got my flight yo-yo a couple of days ago, I started out just round 1A and moved to 4A yesterday, I had been practicing for the whole day in short bursts, and I found that my yo-yo was incredibly loud and gritty sounding, I lubed it using the way you showed, afterwards I attached my yo-yo to a new string and it sounded the same and played incredibly responsively, played for 5-6 minutes and noticed something, when the string isn’t touching anything but the bearing, like not touching the walls, it was completely silent! Do you know what’s happening / how to fix it? Forgot to mention my hearing has shields, if that helps, also when it goes silent the spin decreases dramatically (My god I use a lot of commas)

How well does gun oil work, I found some old bottle of gun oil labeled Weapons oil medium. also might have some other gun oils laying around but I just want to make sure.

Can i also use bones speed cream for lubing my bearings?

just bought a ceramic center trac bearing from you guys and was wondering if I should lube it. thank you

Hi yoyo tricks um I got an unresponsive T5 overlord and the first day it was great it sounded smooth and then the next day when I got home it made a pitched sound and kept making that sound then started to play responsive instead of unresponsive. Now I saw one of your videos and it said when it makes that sound you either have to switch the bearing or clean the bearing with lube. Would the lube for hair clippers work?

CnC Productions It sounds like you may have gotten a bad bearing with that Shutter. This does not happen all that often, but it does happen on occasion. Do you still have the bearing from your old Shutter?

I got a new difeo konkave stainless steel bearing today, it wasn't playing very smooth and was gritty so I put 3 drops of yotricks thin lube in it and played with it for about an hour but it's still playing gritty and just not smooth. Is the paper cleaning method needed? EDIT: i forgot to say that the bearing spins fine and can spin on a pen for about 20seconds im just curious why it sounds like the way it does

Hi yotricks could you make a video on shielding bearings?

I just ordered a velocity and it’s my first time trying to get into serious yoyo playing, so I’m practicing in easy mode for responsive play for a while. The starter pack came with thin lube and the yoyo is starting to make a bit of noise after just one day, will the thin lube compromise the responsive mode on the velocity at all?

what lude do i need to use for a [yo]²' triple action?

If you have a one-drop side effects yoyo like the Cascade/Gradient, should you use this on the side effects area too, or is there a different product for that

If i have a responsive yoyo (Duncan butterfly xt) can i use almost any lube? i have some bike lube at my house, or even baby oil? Also, my duncan butterfly isn´t opened yet, does it come pre-lubed? or i should lube it after the first use?

Hi! I just received my Yoyo Factory Velocity and the bearing doesn't spin from the spacers. My friend and I bought thick Yoyo lube because he bought a Sage. Should I lube it with thick Yoyo lube for now? I just got it 12 hours ago. please help me, I want to use the Yoyo again.

Can another lubricant such as 3 in 1 oil work as good as the thin lube? I'm curious for the sake of my Yo-Yo.

Hi, I purchased the 'Sage Pro Pack' and I was wondering, can you use thin lube on a responsive bearing? Can you just add extra, or the same amount? I plan on going unresponsive soon after, so I can just use it dry but was wondering.

my first unresponsive yoyo was a yomega prospeed and i also got a magic yoyo n8 at the same time. I played them for about 2 months and then they became responsive. I then learned a little bit about cleaning and lubing them. i tried cleaning them and they still played responsive, i then tried lubing them and they still play responsive. i ordered some new bearings and also got 4 new yoyos. one of them being the edge. i just got the edge and 3 other yoyos about 3 days ago. should i lub the bearings now? i have a lot of money invested and want to prolong the bearings. thanks in advance

I use the Yomega Xodus II, and it has two bearings, what should i do? Btw, there is one big bearing (regular), and then the second bearing is split into two smaller bearings. Sorry if to complicated?

THANK YOU FOR LUBE AND THIS TUT

I got my first Shutter yesterday, played "dry" for a while and then put thin lube (from Yoyofactory) in like in the video. One drop each side, maybe one of the drops was a little big :) Before I did that, when I gave the bearing a little spin, it moved like 6-7 seconds, and now it moves like 2 seconds. Also, the yoyo got slightly responsive, sometimes when I try grinds it "comes back up". I already tried doing fast pinwheels and strong throws. Do I have to clean my bearing or just wait a few days?

Thank you for answering

I have a shutter from yoyo factory and I always use it even at school because they let me, I need help to know when I could lube the stock bearing it came with and I use it to the max, but I got it from yo tricks and use the yo tricks thin lube pls reply

+yotricks thanks! i bought my lube and yoyofactory tool and lubricated my first bearing today on my N5 Despardo, its spinning like new! :D

Hey yotricks, it is very unpractical for me to buy from your store due to the shipping costs to where I live... So would you say that YYF thin lube would be as good as the Yotricks lube? Any other good lube recommendations?

thanks for the tutorial!!!

Hey Adam, when i lube the yoyo like you show, I put the bearing back on the yoyo, and I spin the bearing. It will spin for a second or two, and then stop. Is that bad? Or do I need to give the lube some time to kick in?

have a somekind of mix to male a good/normal thin lube?

Can i use zeeko lighter fliud to clean my magic yoyo n8 which is unresponsive

thanks again for the help

I am getting the onedrop eclipse (new!) but I want a concave bearing in it where should I get them

My bearing has a shield protector on it... do i take the protectors off and if so do i have to put them back on?

I don't have lube and if I buy it online its going to come in a week do you the size a bearing is to last that long without being lubricated?

Do you guys recommend re-siliconing the yoyo ?

I can't tell if I under or over lubed my bearing. When I play with the yoyo it makes the gritty noise you described, so I added more lube (not very much) and the noise is still there. If I slowly spin the bearing I can feel it getting slightly stuck in places. If I just spin the bearing as hard as I can it does not spin as long as a few days ago (I've lubed it before). I'm using a shutter with concave bearing and yo tricks thin yoyo lube. Should I put more lube on? Thanks!

I got my sage pro today and it came with your thin lube, will it be okay to not use any lube until I'm ready to switch to the unresponsive bearing it came with?

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. I've been playing with it responsively practicing my other tricks for several days now and it's still too responsive. 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!

Can you guys make a video on the different types of bearings?

can you upload a video with an audio of the 'crunchy' noise that indicates that you need to lube the yoyo?also if we lube the yoyo at the right times,do we ever need to use lighter fluid and clean the bearing?

What else lube would you recommend except for the thin lube ? Bcoz i live in a place where yoyofactory thin lube is not available !

Is like automatic transmission oil a good lubricant. Or motor oil

I used the yotricks thin lube and it worked for about 10 minutes and then started to play responsive. Should I put more lube on or keep using it and hope it thins out?

Do I need to un shield my bearing for this I have a replay pro centre track size c

My dad recently bought me a Rextreme yoyo for Christmas and it was working fine but all of a sudden the yoyo wasn't screwing apart and we heard a rattling sound in the yoyo. Is there some kind of warranty for the yoyo?

Hi, folks! I got a Yoyo Factory Velocity recently, but I didn't buy any lube with it. I've been trying not to play with it too much because it's getting rather gritty, but I'm SUPER eager to keep practicing! The yoyo is now vibrating, and I fear for the state of my bearing. If I lube the bearing before I play with it next, should I be okay? Hope to hear from you soon!

How long for yoyo lube to work in and settle so that the bearing spins a long time again? I lubed my bearing with super lube hobby lube that you guys used to sell and my bearing is slightly slower but doesn rattle as much

Do you have to use multitool? what other thing can remove a size c bearing

can i use mineral spirits mixed with baby oil syla kowalski used that mix before the 3 in 1 oil mix

Also what bearing or size will I need to get to replace the one I have? Does it matter at all? Its a Yoyo king spin control

I have unresponsive kit of sage yoyo and only thin lube nad i'm wondering can i use thin lube on responsive bearing? Will it be more responsive or less? PS. i can't really buy thick lube because shipping to my country costs 5 times more than lube itself

I got a OneDrop Benchmark recently, and it was working great until i added only two drops of your thin lube. It still plays unresponsive usually, but every few throws it flies back to my hand halfway through a trick. Its been like this even after about 2 hours of playing. Does your brand lube not work on yoyos from other stores? Please help.

I put about a drop of lube in total form the yoyofactory lube bottle and the bearing seemed to have decreased spin times, will this go away in soon? Or should I do something

I am buying a stage starter pack and a stage pro pack is it a good chois for my I am a starter and I new the basic tricks

Finally.I've been waiting for 1 years after this month I will buy a thin lube.....😀

How thick is Yoyo Factory Lube compared to your Thin Lube? I recently had some come with a yoyo and after applying my yoy started playing responsive. And after an hour of play they are still a bit responsive. I'm having my Shutter respond due to it while doing grinds.

My friend is asking if you can use rubik's cube lube such as z lube etc. thanks in advance...

So I'm wanting the sage pro pack for Christmas but it comes with thin lube. Can you use thin lube on the responsive bearing of the sage or will it effect it negatively?

Hello yotricks, does it matter what side you lube it

I can't afford the thin lube, so I clean the bearing with paper time to time. Will this work? And can I use a thick lube instead and then clean the bearing afterwards , if needed ?

Will this work for the Velocity Yoko from yoyofactory?

Hi yotricks. My horizon's bearing was getting loud, so I cleaned it in acetone and used yoyojam thin lube on it. It's now louder than it was before and I have no idea what to do. I dried it properly after cleaning so that shouldn't be the issue. Can you help me out?

When you first get your yoyo and you have had it once or two days will u need to put thin yoyo lube on the bearing

I used the yoyofactory decreased response Low viscosity lube is it the same as yours

hi yotricks last night I received a package I ordered from yoyo expert. I got a gold center track unresponsive bearing for my c3yoyodesign accelerator. it said specifically not to lube the bearing, but now its starting to become responsive. should I lube it or did I spend $20 on a trash bearing, please respond soon. thank you. ps. I have fat kitty string if that matters.

I just got a yoyo king spin control yesterday and I've been nonstop with it. First time I ever threw the cash up for a real yoyo, I didn't know anything about lubing the bearing, I've now mastered several tricks I learned on here and now my yoyo is screaming when I throw it. A good 36 hours later at the most lol... Thanks for the info, guess I'll have to wait to play anymore til I get some thin lube... Is there anything else I can use in place of it for the mean time. I'm already having trouble leaving it alone.

Can we use another thing in place of lubricant. If we are not able to get this lubricant.

thanks for your lube video. that helped me a lot. actually i am thinking that, when you guys will make a video on types of bearing? And also types of pads?

Oh can it work for Relay pro or the unresponsive sage yoyo or DV88 yoyo can it work both

+yotricks I lubed my bearing yesterday with a half drop on each side just like you told me too and it played fine. When I tried to use my yoyo today, it was making a really loud noise again and wasn't sleeping as long in a span of a day. Does this mean I have to get a new bearing? If so, what bearing do I get for the Replay Pro?

Two more questions, do you use thin lube for 4a yo-yos, and when do you lube them? (The reason I am asking is because I have a skyhawk from a while ago and don’t know when or with what to lube it with) And for the Sage yo-yo, on your site it recommends to use thin lube, although it is responsive. Is that recommendation for the vip bearing?

So here is my problem, I got the sage pack with lube, and when i put it on the yoyo, it went from quiet to loud and gritty. (It has quieted some since then) Then I put it on my Skyhawlk 4a yoyo I had found, and it became really loud. Is that normal? I have not opened my vip bearring yet and once I do, according to the video I should lube it, but I am cautious because of what I mentioned. Should I still lube it once I open it?

Yotricks I ordered a velocity so should i lube the bearing out of the box or should I lube the bearing once it gets messed up
