Help with making my yoyo spin longer

@Batryn

I can’t take off the C-clip on the Dark Magic… it’s too tight.

You need a TINY needle. If you need to use some lube to loosen it up

Thanks Evan!

Does lube for sewing-machines works good too?

Yes - But remember, only use a little bit

OMG lubing made a huge difference…my speedmaker went from spinning 50 seconds to 1 minute and 50 seconds…WOW trumpet valve oil RULES!!!

Ok. Trumpet Valve oil works…will it have any side effect that the thin lube doesn’t have?

Nope. Be careful - Only use a little bit.

[speedmaker1101 (_|@<06)]

sooo…does anyone have any suggestions on a new bearing for a yyj speedmaker? lol

Just buy a KK, that’s all you’ll ever need

Just make sure to clean it and lube it right lol.

Hmm…I have an idea, if anyone at all has tried this, tell me if it doesnt work quickly before i fail and ruin my yoyo!

I have a yyj speedmaker, i want it to spin longer, so i went to bomgaars and found 2 metal washers that fit perfectly into the side of it, i wonder that if i painted and glued them in, would it mess with the balance of my yoyo or would it make it spin longer since itd be rim weighted?

PLEASE REPLY IF YOU KNOW!!!

no need to super glew them or paint them just put them in, there called shims, and they help with spin time as well as makes it less responsive

He’s not using them as shims, he’s using them as weight rings. Far from the bearing seat area.

oh sorry i misread that, if they fit snug that would be a good idea.
