Clean the bearings, replace the response, and clean the bearing seat. ---

Then yoyo in a cleaner place, wash your hands etc. The crud has to be coming from somewhere. It doesn’t get created by the yoyo. ---

Check the axle and threads for gunk. Try cleaning the bearing seats with Rubbing Alcohol, Dip a que-tip in it and rub the bearing seats, try not to get any on the response or it will fall out early. Make sure your using correct cleaners and lube and make sure you don’t expose it to dust ect, after cleaning… ---

Use a Q-tip to wipe the bearing seat, that will most likely get rid of any gunk stuck in their. ---
