Have you tried just cleaning the bearing and running it dry (w/o lube)? That is one of the biggest factors in response, or lack thereof in yoyos, all else being the same.

It’s a pretty standard size (C bearing), not what most would call small.

If you’re trying to make it more responsive you can add some thick lube to the bearing.

OK, then replace it with a standard “C” bearing. You may be able to find one locally at a store that sells RC cars or helicopters. Std “C” is .250 x .500 x .187 inches. (ID, OD, W)
