Could not find previous thread… Any decent solutions to clean/fix “sticky” keys on XF-8? D-3 just does not always want to rise back to position, but problem is intermitent. And just a light touch of key brings it back… |

Coincidentally, while I was looking at some YT videos about replacing keys (wanted to make sure I did’t screw up on something that simple, and create more problems lol)—I saw a comment stating that before replacing a key one might want to make sure it’s not a lubricant problem.
Then on another video there were these helpful comments:
“Don’t spray any lubricant between the keys because it can damage the carbon contacts if it gets on them.” ------ Can’t track down the original comment atm, but here is a brief but interesting discussion on Yamaha keyboard lubricants (several folks saying that white lithium grease has worked great for them, as opposed to the expensive but official Yamaha lubricants): https://www.yamaha-keyboard-guide.com/what-is-the-lubricant-used-in-yamaha-motif-keyboard.html ------ But as Bad Mister said, it could be other things too. There is a lot of delicate stuff under the keys that can get messed up, I think. (Not to get too technical on you guys though, lol) ------ a quick search of YouTube will give you a number of good links to solid videos explaining the removing and replacing of keys, if it’s just a cleaning issue. |
