Stihl .325 RS pro NK

[species8472]

Damn man! That combo looks fast as hell!! Finally found that chain!
I was flipping through the 2021 online catalog at work and found out that it comes in 80DL and not 81DL like normal .325 for a 20" bar. 3690 005 0080 is that part #.

I just got a 25' role sent over. That is one of my vs race saws there.

Have you adjusted the depth gauges (rakers)?

That number surprised the heck outta me. I’ve never seen better out of the box , off the roll performance than this chain delivers. Ran to the basement to check mine and measured factory depth gauges @ .017 I wood half guest closer two .025 based on how it cuts in hard frozen oak and ash.

Went to go and put the 80dl chain on a 20" bar and it doesn't fit. 100% needs to be 81dl. Anybody have a drive link and 2 tie straps? I seriously can't catch a break! Chain looks awesome tho.

Man, that is a bummer. I hope someone will chime in to help you out.

Does Oregon make a chain that is comparable to the 26RS?
Since I'm new to using RS and uninformed. Is anyone using this chain on larger saws? Or is that not do-able?

As im just working this chain up for racing. I always start at 20thou. You can take material of but its a bit hard to put it back on.

I have put some on a standard 084 that was fun.

Yes he builds a good saw. Not overly happy with this chain. It slowed saw down by nearly a second.

Still fast has hell with out of the box chain! Still looking for a drive link and 2 connecting links for the 23rs

Contact Stihl directly. Tell them you have the chain but can't use it. Maybe they can give you some direction.

Tried that and they said links were unavailable at this time.... what kind of *s-word show are they running over there?! Hahahaha

 

[RI Chevy]

Really? Wow. Thats Unacceptable!!!

 

[QuickDrawSaw]

You literally took the words out of my mouth! They obviously sell it with the bulk rolls. Why can't they sell me a couple drive links and connecting links? Damn Stihl.....

 

[RI Chevy]

Yes! Your dealer should be able to get them.

 

[Pincher]

Couldn't you use normal .325 drive link and connectors?
