One side of the chain might be rubbing on the clutch. Had the same on my 562. It would cut straight for a bit then it would start to cut on the wonk so I would sharpen it then it would do the same again. The chain looks and feels sharp but if you look at the clutch side of the chain you will see a slight line where it's hitting the clutch. Had a friend who had four 560 and it's happened to them to. I would not of known it was that unless he did not say about it

I heard somewhere ( on here ) that there was a " dodgy " batch of rim sprockets . Slightely conical dragging the chain to one side . Try putting the rim on the other way round to eliminate this at least .
