clean the bearing then lightly lube it. If that doesn’t work change the bearing. The get in touch with YYE and tell Andre what happened. More than likely either YYE will give you a new bearing or he will direct you to VSnewton’s Heath for a fix. ---

More than likely a drop of oil will fix the problem. ---

So I would give it a try. It would take effort to fill a bearing with gunk and dirt within a day of owning it. It’s completely possible but unlikely. The new bearings that I have used play nicely the first day and then make a lot of noise and are responsive a day or two later. A drop of lube and a quick break in period fixes the problem. ---

It’s completely possible but unlikely. The new bearings that I have used play nicely the first day and then make a lot of noise and are responsive a day or two later. A drop of lube and a quick break in period fixes the problem. Maybe there was sand being blown around the place while the yoyo is being played. You never know the condition of the place. ---

I had the same issue. Made the most loud and disturbing sound I have ever heard from a yo-yo before. Just give it a quick clean and a tiny tiny tiny drop of thin lube.
