Full ceramic bearing - 1 min

recently got one of those full ceramic zr03 black bearings. when it arrived it barely moved. clean and seemed ok. until I did a sleep test, hard straight throw no tricks barely lasted 1 min. when I add tricks and such it gets even shorter.

anyone have experience or insight? anything is appreciated thanks

I have a white ceramic bearing. Was bad until it was not, just needed to be broken in I think. So I threw sleepers for like 10 minutes and it started to spin longer.

I have been using it longer than 10 min of straight sleep time, but will give it some more time thanks

I’ve read that you can clean with soapy water. Did you try that?

I’ve been interested in ceramic but have no expereience. Please let me know how it works out.

Acetone for stainless steel, because you’d have to worry about rust with anything with water in it.

Since you don’t have to worry about rust with the full ceramic, you can use soapy water.
You’ll still want to make sure it’s completely dry before popping it back on the yoyo.
