Writing about a page on this site
This is where a note about this site goes: a sentence that is wrong, a link that lands somewhere other than where it says, a figure that no longer matches the source it is dated to, or a machine or part named as something it is not. What comes of one is published on corrections, in the body of the page that carried the error and in the log — whether or not anyone writes back first.
Be plain about where it lands, because it bears on how fast you hear anything. The message goes to the contact desk at the dealership that publishes this site, which is an inbox that mostly handles sales. Corrections are tagged so they can be told apart from an order enquiry, and that tag is the only thing keeping the two separate — so if you are writing about a page, say so in the first line as well. Nothing is stored on this domain.
Fitment, price and stock need a live catalogue behind them. Nothing on this domain has one, so those reach the same desk but want different things in front of you first, and the rest of this page is about what.
Fitment, price and stock
Which kit, adapter and anti-rotation hardware a given year and trim takes, what any of it costs, and whether it is on a shelf are all questions that need a live catalogue behind them. Start with a fitment lookup, then get a quote for the kit it returns — in that order, because the mount kit is what makes the price machine-specific.
The application tables here tell you which makes and model years anybody publishes an application for at all, and which rows carry a manufacturer condition. That is the part worth reading before you make contact — a row with a condition on it changes what you need to ask.
What to have in front of you before you ask
Three vehicle-specific selections sit behind a Kimpex track kit and a vehicle-specific mount kit sits behind a Camso system, so every one of these narrows the answer. Gathering them first turns a two-week exchange into one message.
- Model year, and the model and trim as the machine is badged. Not as it is usually called. The same machine is filed under different names by different sources, and that is where most wrong orders start.
- Rear suspension type — rigid or independent. On several makes that one fact is what separates a published application row carrying a manufacturer condition from one that carries none.
- The measured bolt pattern, with the raw readings it came from. How to take that measurement and why the reading matters more than the conclusion.
- Whether the machine already carries track hardware of any kind, and the serial from any system already on it. Working out what is already bolted on covers a machine that came with an unbadged system.
Three questions worth asking while you have someone on the line
None of these are on a spec sheet, and all three are answerable across a parts counter in a minute. The longer list is on the parts page.
- How long does the seasonal swap take on my machine? Kimpex publishes 1.5 hours to install and 30 minutes thereafter. Camso publishes no install or swap time for either ATV system, so that figure has to come from whoever does the work.
- Which spares are stocked for the system I am buying?Mid-rollers are the part an owner replaces most often, and the count per unit is not published anywhere — so it is also the size of every future bill.
- If my application row carries a condition, what exactly comes off? Which panel, which bracket, which line, whether it goes back on, and whether there is a part to buy that nobody has named. Field notes covers the common ones.
If a quote here no longer matches the page it came from
Manufacturers and state agencies revise their own pages between seasons, and the live page wins every time — follow the link and go by what it says now, not by what is quoted here. A quotation that has gone stale is worth telling us about all the same, and so is one that was wrong when it was published: both go in the form at the top of this page, with the page address and the sentence as it stands.
