Frequently Asked Questions

What chain does a Stihl MS201 or MS201T take?

Most UK MS201 and MS201T saws run 3/8" Lo Pro × .050" (1.3mm) chain. Common drive links: 12" ≈ 44 DL, 14" ≈ 50 DL. Always check the stamp on the motor end of your bar.

Will Sugihara, Oregon, or Tsumura bars fit my MS201/MS201T?

Yes. Any bar made for Stihl Group 1I with matching pitch and gauge will fit. Solid-billet bars from Sugihara and Tsumura are popular upgrades for stiffness and durability on these professional saws.

What is the best bar length for an MS201 or MS201T?

The 12" (≈44 DL) and 14" (≈50 DL) are the most common and best balanced lengths for these top-handle and climbing saws. Longer bars are rarely used on the MS201T.

Do I need a new sprocket?

Only if the current one is worn (deep grooves) or you are changing pitch. Standard 3/8" Lo Pro .050" setups use the original sprocket.
