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!

+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/

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

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 ;)

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

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!

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

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 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.

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

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

+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.

+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.

+Vincent Chiu You may need to clean the bearing, assuming you are using thin yoyo lube and not something else. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arKBaZWo3pbVmn0.html

Oh and thanks this video was pretty helpful lol.

Lubing oils are very costly in India 😢

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!!!😄

Lol when I got myself an Oracle it was slightly louder than a nuclear explosion

is it necessary to remove the bearing shield when lubing?

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

Does this also work for butterfly knives?

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?

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

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

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

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?

Hi yotricks could you make a video on shielding bearings?

So my grandma ordered a YoYoFactory GODSPEED for me and she's coming and giving me it on June 29. I have thin lube in my house but will the bearing live long enough for me to put thin lube in it before it needs to be replaced?

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 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?

+yotricks How does the lube get past the shield?

My one drop gradient is being really responsive. I bought new response pads. Should I lube it as well?

+Niko Sokolowicz Mineral oil will almost certainly make your yoyo play responsive. Unfortunately, there is no easy alternative for thin lube, which is why yoyo companies needed to make it in the first place.

Will this work for the Velocity Yoko from yoyofactory?

I have a velocity yoyo but I can't remove the bearing by hand and I haven't got a bearing remover

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

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

So I decided to pick up yoyoing again, and I examined my bearings of my old yoyos the other day and I think some the spots on it were rust. I'll have to get new bearings won't I...? There's no way to help it...? Maybe a stupid question

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

I ovetlubed my yoyo unresponsive yoyo and idk what to do ik u guys said to just play with it for some time and it will be ok but its making loud noise and its spining incredibly fast and out of contoll and it cant be straight its just making ball when i throw it

yotricks I have responsive lube if I lube an unresponsive yoyo with it will it turn unresponsive ?

can i use something else to clean the bearing?

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)

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

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!

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

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?

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?

Hello yotricks, does it matter what side you lube it

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

So, i was playing with a new yoyo i got today and after about 2 hours playing with it, it began to feel gritty and made a loud sound, i lubed it just now and played with it for a couple minutes but the sound is about the same. Is there something up with it? *And can we just appreciate how YoTricks is still responding to comments to this day*

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

How do I know if my bearing got worn out

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

I put thin loop on my yoyo and it started to be responsive i have a yoyo king grind control

Why does my yo-yo get loud 10 minutes after cleaning and lubing it

So I was a dummy and assumed the same application rules applied for thin and thick, now I've gone and flooded the thing. You say throwing will make it sort itself out, but is there a faster way to remove it and start over?

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

I'm an amateur at yoyoing and I've just started playing unresponsive, I have not applied lube yet but for some reason the yoyo has started playing responsive, any ideas?

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 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?

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 haven't played with my yoyo for around a year now it extremely wobbly and it spins for max around a minute. So my question is will cleaning the bearing then lubing it properly will ensure that the bearing comes back to life. Btw I have a shutter. (Sorry if my english is not great)

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 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 ?

Recently got a p. Lotor. It became responsive quickly. If I try to do side mount tricks it returns and hits my wrist. How do I make it unresponsive again?

I didnt played with my yyf shutter for almost one year. Do i need to replace the bearing or do i need to lube the bearing?

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

Well, it's not making weird sounds but it is a bit responsive, if you can't use lube to fix it, how else? Please respond quickly because my Transcend Yoyo cost $70.

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.

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

Hey Adam, thx for the tip, but either I wasn't focusing or you didn't mention how often you should lube the bearing

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 think I over-lubed my unresponsive bearing as it’s basically responsive now. is there anyway to fix it

So my magic yoyo k2 crystal is brand new and unresponsive, but after a few days now it is responsive, no knot in the bearing, the bearing is clean, and I didn't lube it, I can't do plastic whip and I can't do unresponsive tricks with my unresponsive yoyo :( I have Googled and I can't find anything, is there a way I can fix this?

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.

can i use this lube for my velocity

Mean as I just buy a new yoyo,I need to lube the yoyo before playing it? My bearing is shieldless,so how can I lube it?

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

I just got the one drop gradient, and I lubed it almost immediately after I got it, but a few hours after I put on the lube, it started making a weird noise. I put on a bit more lube, but it continued to make the noise. What should I do?

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

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 any of you guys know what size axle the Yomega Dash uses?

My center trac became responsive when I lubed it.It was new and the shields are not removed yet.Why?

I found that if you over lube a bearing, that if you play it for 5-10min then take then bearing out to drain. Due to the heat inside the bearing thins the oil. Repeat a few times over because the bearing is cased in the yoyo housing not alowing oil to escape.

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...

Is the rubik Maru lube use for unresponsive or responsive?It look like the lube is very thin✔️🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

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

How often should you lube it?

Hi um i got a unresponsive yoyo but i got a thick lube and accidently applied it on it and i cant get the thin lube until next month so what should i do to make my unresponsive yoyo unresponsive again.

I live 2 hours away from my nearest yo yo shop is there any alternativate thin lube I can use? Like olive oil?

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
