Tweaked 560 !

[Stubby]

After reading and contributing to the post " can a 560 be modified " Petemate390XP said that gains could be had from a few mods . He has done some competition saws which are heavily modified but I wanted something extra for my " every day " saw . So I asked him if he would mod mine and he said yes . Soooo here goes -- Sent the saw power head to Pete and 8 days or so it came back . Without giving away any secrets as to whats been done ( a tweek here and a tweek there ) a muffler mod and and a bit of electronic wizzard stuff it now performs way better than before . It is snappy , crisp , loud ! ! ! and f-----g fast ! In short its better ! Many people would not think you could improve this saw but you can . Its not a racing saw for comp use only, it is still the saw for every day use . Imagine the power and torque of a 90 - 100cc saw with the weight of a modern 60cc saw and you some where near . So there we have it -- job done ! :thumbup: .

Bet it's a beast now then Would be good to see it in a cut off against a standard one.

 

560's on the shopping list still but running out of room to hide saws from Mrs at mo and somewhow ended up with a really shiny 357 xpg a week or two back that I couldn't pass up on

 

Wonder if he can do the same with a 550?

Think I remember Pete putting a vid up on here ages ago?

Glad you like your saw Andy! I said that there would be a noticable difference in how the saw performs.

Current saws that im modding at the moment are:

550xp

560xp

576xp

 

Been given the nod from the top on how to mod the auto tunes. As Andy states, nice gain in performance!

Any questions just pm me

 

Cheers all for looking
