I know this gets posted a lot but my BVM I just got in a trade is being responsive. I’ve cleaned my bearings and switched them all around and it still is playing very responsive. I also looked and the response isn’t protruding at all either. Anyone know what else I could try? ---

Try different bearings and make sure there isn’t anything in the bearing seat ---

It seems to be working better after I swapped the KK ceramic from my 888x into it. The BVM uses flowable for stock response and it has a very nice silicone job on it. Don’t think that was it. ---

Check the bearing seat for nicks flaws or points. Make sure the Sili is not brand new, most “Just Siliconed” yoyos tend to be responsive for awhile. Use a Pin head amount of Thin Lube unless you run your bearings dry. Or just keep your KK in it. Make sure you use suggested cleaners and ECT. :wink: hope you solve your issue :wink: ---

I have a DM 2 and a center trac bearing and after I put flowable sili in my throw, it has become more repsonsive. I play with my bearing dry because even though I add thin viscosity lube, the bearing doesn’t seem to spin as long, so I started paper cleaning. Any help as to why my DM 2 is starting to be responsive? I would like to be able to practice plastic whip without it pulling up on me and hitting me in the hand. ---

Well I like the DM 2, but I didn’t have this problem until I replaced the response with flowable sili and a new center trac bearing which I got about 2 weeks ago. I am also gunna be getting a POPstar and a dv888 soon as well. ---

fresh silicone generally has a bit of a break in period, like when you lube a bearing. After a little use though, it should be at the perfect level of unresponsiveness. ---

yeah, even the stock return on my DM2 played responsively for a while.
