18" suga bar on a 660 stupid or cool

[Hats]

I have just wacked an 18" bar on my 660 that i normally run a 30" bar on. I have turned the oiler down and i love it not much heavier than a 341 but just so quick. Am i going to cause damage to the saw? Im aware the bar will probably wear quick. Cheers

I cant even imagine an 18" bar on a 660-you ve got to give us a picture of that!

Try running it on an 8 pin sprocket as well It will drop the rpm a bit in case it is over revving .

Better check your peak rpm

Awsome it looks. I thought as stihl say a 20" is fine then whats the problem with an 18" i like climbing with it.

Less load on the motor just check your not running lean at the top end , The Sugi looks good

Picture upside down because im crap with an ipad lol. Do i check if its running lean at top end by stopping it just after thrashing it like after ringing up big timber then look at spark plug?
