yes we have done it to our saws

dealer should be able to tell you or when i remember will look up numbers on bars

yep i have one i run a 260 15" bar on. i run a 9 tooth sprocket on mine and as a result the chain needs an extra 2 links to what the bar states. im not sure how many links you'd need with a smaller sprocket. would advise going for a 9 tooth sprocket though

we only have 1 extra link

bar says 67 we use 68

and we are on 9 toothed

you must be using 16" bar?? mine says 62 and i use 64 from memory...definetly not as many as 68 thats for sure!

Noob question now:001_tongue:. I guess the smaller chain offers lest resistance in the cut, but what does the 9 tooth sprocket do as opposed to the standard 7?

[Steve Bullman]

faster chain speed
