ah i think you may have added a little too much thin lube there, if youre not in a hurry to get it dead unersponsive, just play it till the bearing breaks in completely. if not, you can wash the bearing in lighter fluid or smth if you want a quick fix ---

Yeah it’s gotta be the Lubricant. Just take care of it, and it will get more unresponsive. Or grab a 10 ball. Great bearings. ---

I primarily throw a c sized dash; I ordered mine with a KK bearing though. Although your dash came with a ten ball bearing, and as much as I enjoy yomega (personal preference ingrained from the 90s, I dot like change,) the bearing that came with your dash is sub par to almost any other generic bearing. I’d recommend buying a cheap bearing to replace it, or a nice one if you have the extra money. That aside, a good cleaning and a drop or two of thin lube should do the trick. I generally get some thin lube on the tip of a needle or tooth pick and apply it directly to a ball in a deshielded freshly cleaned bearing and give it some spins to work it in. Once per side is more than enough from my experience. ---

Clean out the bearing and don’t add lube. OR: Play it until the lube breaks down a bit. Seriously, like half a drop added to a shielded bearing will be all you need for 2-3 months. ---

Playing dry is a personal preference, and literally a barely visible drop on the tip of a needle will drop your spin time drastically and last forever. Basically if you can see the lube on the needle from a foot away it’s most likely more than enough to lubricate four bearings.
