i got my DM II a couple of months ago, and i switched the Speed Bearing supplied, when i pulled the original bearing off it went BOOM! and sparks flew everywhere, and the bearing blew into bits haha ๐Ÿ™‚ it doesnโ€™t have seemed to affect the yoyo, it plays beautifully, this ever happened to anybody else, with any YoYo? ๐Ÿ™‚ -Michael ---

More than likely just a bad bearing from the get go. Itโ€™s happened but no sparks. Never happened on a YYJ though. YYF DV888 and a One drop P1. ---

No, sorry thatโ€™s never happened to me. But that small bearing IS hard to get out โ˜น But as stated above, you probably just had a defective bearing. ---
