Hello fellow saw enthusiasts , This is my first post on here . I will try to keep it short . I recently purchased a 500I and need some advice regarding changes to the
saw . I'm using a Stihl 24" light bar and std chain . I love the performance but man this thing looks and feels like a cheap " pos " to be honest . I'm getting older and purchased it for it's small ( er ) size and weight so that I wont tire as fast . My question is , will the stiffer suspension kit ( spring etc. ) , muffler cap ( I'm considering the Egan version ) just speed up the demise of the saw ( as in falling apart ) ? . Also is the aluminum clutch cover necessary ?
There sure are a lot of " experts " on Youtube and the web , much to the point that my head is fried from all of it - LOL !
Thank you .
