If you canā€™t clean it, contact Ben. He will help you. Until then, try a different bearing in your Dv888. ---

Dont clean it play it responsive!!! Its funner!!! Honestly running bearings dry for to long will kill them. So please for the love of god at least just thin lube them. YYJ thin Lube keeps it unresponsive at the same time keep it aliveā€¦ Listen to your yo-yo the louder the dryer. The dryer the deader \>.\< ~Yin/White Mamba ---

Oh, man, I forgot! Everyone who gets a SPEC bearing, when you get them, lube them lightly. They come dry, so slightly lubing them will help you in the long run. ---

I have 4 dv888ā€™s and nothing like this has ever happened, almost has to be the bearing though.
