Are there any good Modifications for The New Breed or Kickside? I’ve taken the caps out of my kickside and its Bearing has been clean and is dry. My New Breeds bearing has also been cleaned and it is dry. Are there any Mods that could make them spin longer, Spin faster, have tighter binds, etc. ? ---

It is advisable to thin lube your bearings after you wash them, because leaving the bearing dry shortens the bearing´s life spam alot. For the New Breed, lube it and leave it like that. But for the kick side you could make some shims for it and silicone it.

You can use a comparable oil such as gun oil or most any other thin lubricant. ---

I think the kickside has the best shape out there! In your preferences. I would just get some slim K-Pads and stick em’ in there. Because they are silicone.

Just so you guys know, for the most part, the mods you can do to one yoyo you can do to any yoyo. There’s a few exceptions, but there always are.
