You shouldn’t need any weight. BUT if you really want to add some you can go to a hardware store and get O-Rings that fit inside the irg area. Also you can pay a modder to add metal weight rings. ---

I’m w/ Icthus on this one. I don’t know if you have cleaned the bearing yet but I would start w/ that before adding weight. ---

Make sure to use lighter fluid, or acitone. A paint remover, but doesn’t remove paint on yoyo bearings, be careful, both are highly flammable. ---

You can always remove the o-ring and silicone it. (I got two kicksides and silicones both o ring halves and put it together. It’s my best plastic and it Took like 20 minutes) ---

Re: the weight question. The rubber weight o-rings found underneath the caps of a Duncan FH-2 fit perfectly on the Kickside.
