Check the bearing seat. There might be hair or piece of string that is stuck in there. Oh, and after you clean your bearing, break it in. Wait patiently. 😃

Basta i-clean mo na lang yung bearing mo. Tapos gamitin mo lang ng gamitin yung yoyo mo. Pero kung di na talaga gumagana, bili ka na lang ng bagong bearing.

I have been having the same issue with my 54. When do you finally give up and switch to a new bearing? I don’t want to put a new bearing in it because I gotta break it in again. But this one does not seem to be getting better. It’s been 2 weeks since I took the since I did everything that is recommended to fix it. Still loud still responsive. Time to cut my losses and start all over with a new bearing or keep throwing it and bust a knuckle when I think it’s not responsive and try a ninja vanish?
