Today, I was yo-yoing as usual with my dv888, and noticed that my spin was getting rough. I ignored it and continued, but as I went on, the spin was getting rougher and rougher and spin times were decreasing. It eventuallly came to a stop after a solid throw. I found this unusual, as I take good care of my yo-yo’s, and I have never dropped, dented, or hit this yo-yo on anything. I took it apart and rotated the bearing, and at some points it would barely move.
Please help! If this helps: I have a dv888 LB. What is wrong and can I fix it?
I will. Thank you so much Spencer. I’ve heard of breaking in, but I didn’t know it would be like this. What does breaking in do? Will it go back yo normal? Thanks so much!
Actually, after you break in the bearing it will be even better than was before. Sometimes, things have to get worse before they get better.
If things don’t get better in a few days, I would suggest you contact Ben. He posts here sometimes, so he might see this, and post advice in this thread!
