Okay. So I keep trying to clean my bearings with lighter fluid and every time I do it is making it super responsive. I have no clue why this is happening. Can someone please help me out? I feel sad that im incompetent at cleaning yoyo bearings.

ok well im confused should I shake it in something like that and should I put lube on it? I want it super unresponsive and I have done a lot of research and they say that running a bearing "dry" is best for least responsiveness and I want to know if thats true. and should I shake it? and should I use mineral spirits? thanks reed =)

in my experiance running berrings dry makes them unresponcive for a shot time. Then they usually lock up, what ive been doing lately is cleaning with lighter fluid then droping a few drops of yyj thin lube on the bering and it works. Other wise I just drop some thin lube on it then work the berring in. If you dont add the thin lube it will be to dry.

Reed I just watched that vid. I dont recomend d sheialding berrings they seem to rust faster and get crap inside them. So don't do that you can still give a berring a good cleaning with the shealds on them.

It will mess with the teflon coating. But you can clean them anyway.
I agree with Connor, I prefer to clean with the shields on.
