Husqvarna 562 XP Mark2

[BonScott46]

It is, but something's bothering me about the last advertising from Husqvarna's website.

They are advertising about the possibility to choose between. 325 and 3/8 on the 560 mk2. But the original 560 need a 9 teeth rim for .325, and it never liked it.

If the new 560 can run a 7 or 8 teeth rim, it'll be a game changer.

I am lost here…are you saying the mark 1 560 came with a 9 tooth rim sprocket for .325?

A nine tooth is the only .325 to fit the large spline drum.

Holy cow, 1500 Euro for a 60cc saw? I guess that"s one more reason to appreciate being American!

Is a 560 just a small mount 562?

850€ incl 24% tax, 560XP at the nearest dealer. Not a bad price if you need it

That's the only option on mk1, unfortunately.

560 comes with 325 7 pin stock

560 comes with 325 7 pin stock

Not the 1st version in Europe. Stock it cames with 3/8 7, to switch to. 325 we had to go 9,which I don't like with k095, too much chain jump

560 is 325" small mount and 562 is 3/8" large

edit seems there is 2 clutch drums for it 3/8" and 325"
575-26-10-04 3/8"
575 26 10-03 325"

9 tooth seems a bit ambitious but then again there are more than a few guys running 15 inch .325 setups on 560’s here.

He say's, this saw is roundabout 1 year in professional use now.

My 562xp that I bought a month or two ago has dished piston (and not a mark II to my knowledge). It’s mmws now. I’ll probably put a flat top in it and see how it compares later.

Don't think its needed Evan. Still makes plenty of compression.

I agree. I made that comment about two days before it started to break in good and really come alive. It has plenty of compression and power.

When I was fairly new to saw modding, I thought more compression was the most important thing. As a result, I have a few saws that I need to pull apart to lower the compression. If one has too much, it's really hard to tune properly.

Does overly high compression make it harder to find the sweet spot in tuning? Or does it change how the fuel burns and vapors travel?

Something I wonder about Randy. Especially with two strokes. Is the difference in static compression and compression at different RPMS. And maybe different piston tops alter how the fuel charge and exhaust gases behave at different RPMS.

Too much compression usually causes the saw to become lean after it gets good and hot. So, you have to tune it overly rich at a low temperature so it isn't too lean once hot. Makes the saw annoying to actually use.

All good things to consider. I wish I had all the answers.

Well said!

Randy hopefully the 357 you did for Dan @AlfA01 a few back suffers from the high compression, quite the kick back when not pulling fast, decomp plugged, don't have a compression tester.

But the WOT tune is second to none, maybe it is your secret sauce, we like it very much!

I started dialing it back a long time before I did any saws for Dan. Its probably blowing 190 - 200 psi.

325 9T, it’s the large spline drum.
As long they use the standard drum bearing, and, 560 in scandinavia, a 325 7T drum will defently come.

That saw was originally done for Mike @Edwad. Iirc it had one of your older stickers on it if that helps narrow down the timeframe.
