    Don't worry about the sprocket change. With your all in one tool that came with the saw, you can easily remove the clip holding your 7 pin in place, put the new sprocket on, and you are back in business. A couple minutes at most. I will probably put the 7 pin on when I go back to 25 inch. I don't have enough torque to pull with 8 pin on a bar that long. But the 16 inch runs great with 8 pin.

    My 25 inch chain from the dealer for Stihl was over $30. That's a lot of bread for me. :zip:
