After school today, I was playing with my yoyo as usual, when I noticed that the bearing didn’t sound the same as it usually did. My X-convict has been silent when thrown, but now it is making a kind of raspy noise.Is it time to replace my bearing, or is that supposed to happen ??? ??? ???
Any tips/comments would be greatly appreciated

Well how does it spin still? How long have you had the X-Convict? If you haven’t had it for a while, then it means the bearing is breaking in and will spin longer. In most cases this is a good thing, because it will be unresponsive and spin longer. But if it doesnt spin well, it may have locked up. Make sure you tell us 
It’s all good, man. This happens. A lot.
A small pin-drop of YYJ thin and go to town. There’s nothing wrong with the bearing. This is just something a lot of them do as they continue to break in, or get older.
Unless your sleep times are affected, which I doubt, the bearing is still just fine.
ok, thanks peoples! ;D thats a major relief. I guess the spin hasn’t been affected either. Ill check back in later. Thanks!

or maybe you should clean and lube it.almost all bearings does that.
i have an x-convict and its cool my did the exact same thing. And i thought something was wrong, but it turned out for good put a little lube and was even better.
if your bearing ever gets locked up though just get an air compreser with a blast nosle on it and try blowing it out. worked for me.
keep it spinning
