IF it works why is it on the bin?

My 550 is third week of december 2011. From what I could gather it was about the first one sold in the UK rather than being a demonstrator.

at this point it was a bit 50/50 its amazing how much a broken clutch spring mess these autotune saws up. By the sounds of it im lucky not to break the crankcase where the chain break handle mounts as these are a very common failure point local dealer has had 3 break there

I maybe wrong but I think there was a short gap between the 550 and the 560 release dates so to speak if my memory serves me correctly.

[Charlieh]

chain break handle, front heated handle, clutch. Very lucky really

There was, the 560's were out first then the 550's a little later. Somehow I got mine when everyone else was being told theirs were still weeks away

I have a spare handle (non heated) and clutch drum if you want mate

cheers for the offer local dealers sorting bits should be up and running again tomorrow
