Whenever I unscrew my yoyo apart to lube the bearings and twist it back on, I can never get the two yoyo sides to align together as how it came out of the box. So on one side, the Shutter sign will be upside down, and Gentry’s signature on the other side of the yoyo will be facing upward or sideways.
Now my Replay Pro won’t spin since apparently it’s over tightened. In this case, I can’t seem to align the arrows on the Replay Pro where the tension is just right.
Is there a proper way to twist the yoyo back on so that it is aligned?
If it doesn’t spin anymore, you probably just broke it. If it was me I wouldn’t mind too much about the logo as long as it’s tightened properly. A good way to do this is to put one side on your palm and then twist with the other hand, once it slips on your palm, it’s tight enough.
Once they have gone past that, no (if it’s due to over tightening).
Do you have another bearing you can put on there and test how long it will spin? If so compare those. If the other one spins a lot longer you need to clean your bearing.
The only one who can answer this question exactly would be YYF themselves, but I do know that once you unscrew your yoyo the arrows won’t ever align perfectly again.
I think it’s something like that… Think of it this way:
I use the arrows as a guide, don’t thread past arrows. I get is snug, throw , feel for vibe. If vibe present, tighten about 1/8-1/6 in. Throw again and retest vibe . I will do this until I get somewhat smoothness or close to but never past the 2 arrows alignment.
Since the axle is held in place by the cap, and some people will hulk out when screwing the halves back together. I think it’s to use as a reference to not over tighten . Just my 2 cents
