T540 what bar?

Ha, not much point greasing them, they fall in half and the grease disappears anyway!

I think greasing them makes them deteriorate faster . Not greased a bar tip in years . The grease attracts the grit and crud and acts like a grinding paste .

That is exactly my feeling on greasing them stubby,I have never greased any other Sugi bar either.

I clean the tip sprocket out with an airline after every cut.

It's a chore admittedly, especially when climbing, but you can't skimp on mayntayneeance.

 

Seriously, grease a lot or not at all seems to be the general consensus.

Where does the grit and crud come from? I only cut wood with my saws. The grease pushes the grit and crud out. I shoot some in when I sharpen the chain and turn the bar.
