Axes , Rifles and Dirt bikes !

 

You wouldnt want to own 1 of their dirt bikes unless you like playing with spanners more than riding it!

Is that right? My mate is saving up for the 125 but also considering the KTM ???

That is such an unhelpful hyperbole of a statement. Obviously not why I started this thread or what I for one think anymore.

 

 

ok il elaborate abit more. after a month both 261 needed new clutch's as the saws died when the chainbreak was applied, the exhaust on one of them rattled lose withen the first 3 weeks and the other one then went on to gain carb problems. that abit more helpful?

KTM are alright but they do require a fair bit of maintenance as are more race bike based. Hondas are fairly bullet proof & reliable!

i've been planking ash and horse chestnut for benches recently with a ms390, heavy yes but smoothe as silk. never used a husky, too wed to stihl-so far.

If the 2 saws were in front of you and you could only ever use one for the next year, which would it be??

after buying a 261 to replace a 260 (which for 6 years was a fantastic saw) Im considering trying husky's

the saw cuts fine but it seems to be falling to bits after just 6 months

carb probs, clutch, chain brake.

You mean the 346?

 

This video is the result of about 80 attempts apparently!

 

 

For those who don't know - B Snelling, the guy in the vid, is a porting God in the US as you can hear from these saws especially the 346XP it certainly isn't running at 14,000rpm!

 

Nice job methinks:thumbup:
