Does anyone know how to mod a yo-yo that is ball bearing so that it sleeps much longer. I know there is a way I just would like a detailed guide or video. If you put up a video please make sure it has commentary so that I understand what is going on in it. ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ---

[Clean the bearing](http://yoyowiki.org/wiki/Cleaning_a_Bearing) or [clean the bearing](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,871.0.html). Then go work on your throw. ---

What yo-yo is it? You could add weight rings but really all you need is to clean the bearing and work on your throw. ---

Have a look at this video: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/6/7/c6748d2ad7b12c9c50c1fedae338afaf9355d82d.jpeg "Duncan Mosquito Modifications") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFFCPq51TJU) This works with any Duncan yo-yo(assuming that’s the kind of yo-yo you have). Basically, all you have to do is unscrew the caps off both yo-yo halves and put an even amount of sticky tack or clay or something similar to both halves. I did this to my Speed Beetle by using playing cards as weight. Improved spin time and made it less responsive. As mrcnja said, it depends on what yo-yo you have. Different mods can be done to different yo-yos. ---
