2022 562xp Piston

[Spike60]

You would think that those Swedes would have the 562 figured out after 10 years of production. Might as well call it a 561xp now. The dished piston and a few other things were done to the 262xp and then it was called the 261

I made the same joke when I first saw this change! But as of today, there's no 561 decals listed..... yet.

Also, the 261 got a real choked down muffler when they ruined that one. No change to the 562 muff.

Yep, and the only thing I liked about the 261 was the 2 shoe clutch. My go to small timber thinning saw 20 years ago was a 261, with a 262 muffler, carb and piston. I tried the 3 shoe clutch, but seemed to rev up a little slower, I really didn't need the clutch to grip good in the small stuff I was in.
