When I first saw the post, I thought bar cover, not clutch cover. Was wondering who was worried about a flaw in a bar cover when the chain was gonna chew it up taking it off and putting it on.

I talk to stihl they said that's it a mfg defect and will replace no problem ,then i brought up the idea if i could pay the difference and get a 461r clutch cover "large cover"

stihl customer service said it should not be a problem, because they just refund cash /check for the returned part to dealer and with me paying the difference no loss for anyone
anyone know price on both covers???

thanks everyone -except "DUCE"
keep that 572 and u know what to do with it -just joking
