Hi, I have shutter wide angle new yoyo. Got it 2 weeks ago. Today I was just normally throwing it and after one throw it turned really loud so I checked bearing but it was looking just fine and everything else too. Later the sound seemed gone but the yoyo feels slower and weaker no matter how hard I throw it. My max bind time after throwing is like 40 seconds and so yoyo max sleeping time about 1:40 minutes, but I could do like 2:30. Yoyo also slowdowns really fast. I don’t know what to do so anyone can help? Thanks ---

Sounds like your bearing needs some cleaning. YYE has an entire section on bearings. Check this thread out.

Okay, thank you. I just wonder how is it dirt if it’s new. ---

Dirt can get into bearings. It could be a piece of hair, human or pets, dust, even string fuzz. Who knows, it just happens. Besides cleaning your bearing is a skill you will need to learn sooner or later, make it sooner! ---

Actually, I got my Shutter to sleep for 7 hours. I went to bed at 2am last night. I put the Shutter under my pillow. I woke up at exactly 9am. It had not moved one inch from where I put it. I would conclude it slept exactly the same amount of time as me…… 7 hours. 😳 ---

That’s the only reasonable way to measure yoyo sleep time! ---

Alright thanks. I tried to take bearing out with multitool but I can’t move it at all. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong tho. ---

Stick it in the freezer for 25 minutes. It’ll usually loosen it up. ---

You can also use pliers but do be very careful with them.
