To remove the starbursts, take off the caps with a fork and unscrew the yoyo. Then use the fork to poke out the starbursts from the inside. This will bend them in. Then you can use a drill to drill out a circle in the inside of the yoyo to create a cavity to place a silicon sticker or o ring.

If you can’t understand it, type in Fast 201 mod and the channel is offstringfreak. This is not mine.

Here is the link.

haha mine with all the starbursts OBLITERATED! HAHAHAAHAHH!LHSLEMOW!!! Sorry. All the starbursts were naturally obliterated, and it is still responsive lol ☹

I just don’t like fast 201’s for unresponsive play. They are great for beginners though :wink:

with duncan mosquito spacers, a clean bearing, and string response on one side, they play perfectly.  
great yo-yo for any level, imo.
