This 2-piece 14-inch replacement chainsaw chain set is intended for specific Ryobi chainsaws that use a 14-inch bar. It is listed to fit Ryobi RY3714, RY3714VNM, RY40503, RY40530, RY40503VNM, RY405010, RY405010BTL, RY405100, and RY405100VNM.

Because chains must match the bar and sprocket setup exactly, it’s important to verify your saw’s chain specifications before ordering, even if your model number appears on the compatibility list.

Will this chain fit your saw?

Measuring chain pitch, gauge and drive links

Start with the basics: this is a 14-inch chainsaw chain, so your saw should be using a 14-inch guide bar. That’s the most visible fitment point, but bar length alone is not enough to guarantee a correct match.

To confirm fitment, check these four details on your current bar or in your saw’s manual:

  • Bar length: 14”
  • Chain pitch
  • Chain gauge
  • Drive-link count

All four need to match your saw’s original chain specification. On many chainsaws, these details are stamped or printed on the guide bar near the mounting end. If the markings are worn off, the owner’s manual or the numbers on your existing chain may help you confirm the correct setup.

According to the original listing, this chain is for the following Ryobi models:

  • Ryobi RY3714
  • Ryobi RY3714VNM
  • Ryobi RY40503
  • Ryobi RY40530
  • Ryobi RY40503VNM
  • Ryobi RY405010
  • Ryobi RY405010BTL
  • Ryobi RY405100
  • Ryobi RY405100VNM

Package includes:

  • 2 pcs 14-inch chain

If your saw matches one of the model numbers above and your bar/chain specs also match, this set should be the right replacement option.

Replacing the chain

Fitting the chain onto the bar and sprocket

Before you begin, remove the battery on cordless models or make sure the saw cannot start accidentally. Wear gloves when handling the chain, since even a dull chain can cut skin.

  1. Loosen the bar cover and remove the side cover to access the bar and chain.
  2. Release chain tension, then lift the old chain off the bar and drive sprocket.
  3. Clean sawdust and oil buildup from the bar groove, sprocket area, and cover before installing the new chain.
  4. Fit the new chain around the drive sprocket and into the bar groove, making sure the cutter direction is correct along the top of the bar.
  5. Reinstall the side cover, then adjust chain tension until the chain sits snugly against the bar but can still be pulled around by hand with a gloved hand.
  6. Tighten the bar nuts or cover securely, then recheck tension after a short test run since a new chain can stretch slightly during initial use.

If the chain will not seat properly in the bar groove or seems too loose or too tight even after adjustment, stop and recheck pitch, gauge, and drive-link count.

Keeping it sharp

Sharpening a chainsaw chain cutter

A sharp chain cuts faster, puts less strain on the motor, and is safer to use than a dull one.

  • Keep the chain properly tensioned. A loose chain can derail, while an overly tight chain increases wear on the bar and sprocket.
  • Maintain bar and chain oil flow. Running a chain dry causes rapid heat buildup and premature wear.
  • Touch up the cutters regularly instead of waiting until the chain is badly dull. If the saw starts producing fine dust instead of chips, pulls to one side, or requires extra pressure to cut, the chain likely needs sharpening.

It also helps to avoid cutting dirty wood or letting the chain contact soil, rocks, or concrete, since that can dull the cutters very quickly.

FAQ

Does this fit all Ryobi 14-inch chainsaws?

No. A 14-inch bar alone does not guarantee fitment. This chain is listed for Ryobi RY3714, RY3714VNM, RY40503, RY40530, RY40503VNM, RY405010, RY405010BTL, RY405100, and RY405100VNM, but you should still confirm the chain pitch, gauge, and drive-link count on your saw.

What do I get in the package?

The package includes 2 pcs 14-inch chain, giving you one replacement to install and one spare to keep on hand for the next change.
