It is a 10ball bearing so you will need some time to break it in. This can take up to three weeks. The second option is cleaning it with Mineral Sprits and put a drop of lube in it. Those are the best ways IMO, what response did you get? ---

Break it in, and then, it’ll be the best you have ever played with. ---

I suggest just breaking it in. You really don’t need the new pads, so just play with it a lot. ---

> [@onedropeze](#): > > Thanks guys ill look for mineral spirits, ill try to brake it in before i use the spirits. Ill also try to order some new response pads just for any other yoyo that i want to put them on I believe you can also clean it with water. It won’t remove all of the lube, so it will just shorten the break-in time a bit. ---

Don’t bother cleaning it, just play with it and it will be broken in. ---

Not necessarily. They are resistant to rusting, but that doesn’t mean they can’t. There’s just less of a chance. ---
