My sasquatch has been unresponsive up until now. I thought the bearing just needed a cleaning. Cleaned it. Responsive. Cleaned it again. Responsive. Cleaned again. Responsive
I need help. I’ve never had it do this, and I don’t want to lose an amazing yoyo.
Features a nice wide gap with a Size C (.250 x .500 x .187) bearing. Note: the Raptor is semi-responsive out of the package. For complete unresponsiveness YoYoExpert recommends purchasing a clean bearing to replace the stock bearing with. It will also break in and become less responsive with general play.
same thing happened to me but my xodus 2 bearing so i play it till it get unresponsive and spins more cuz it also when i cleaned it didn’t spin as good as before :-\
I can’t play responsive. I’ve been working on a new trick that involves too much movement for the responsive feel. I
On a note, I found what looked like candle wax in the bearing seat, but, even after removing it and putting in a different bearing, it was STILL responsive. FML.
Step one: remove bearing.
Step two: obtain a Q-tip ( any jokes about this in reference to my name will result in me finding you. Like, seriously. I will find you, and cut you.)
Step three: dip q-tip in your favor solvent. IE: Lighter fluid, mineral spirits.
Step four: go at the bearing seat with said solvent covered q-tip
Step five. Follow up your job with a tooth pick.
Unless it is a manufacturers defect, the problem has to be able to be fixed.
You’ve cleaned both halves and allowed them to dry? Leave the bearing out of it and in a cleaning solution over night. Leave the halves idol all night after you clean the bearing seats again. If that doesn’t work, go ahead and contact YYE.
DG, I had this same problem with my SPYY Pro. It was DEAD unresponsive when I got it, and shortly after that it became impossibly responsive. I was pretty bummed, but I continued to use it. After quite a while, probably weeks, it finally just lost all responsiveness again and it’s been fine ever since. No idea why this kind of thing happens, but it does happen. I feel your irritation.
