There are also emulators available from Ricor in the US too, but I haven't looked into these.
Here's a useful sizing guide for emulator fitment from Racetech website:

FYI � The XTs have cupped top damping rods.
Note: The Racetech instructions tell you to drill the existing four damping rod holes out to 6mm and add two additional 6mm holes, although subsequently I�ve found out that apparently these emulators work just as effectively by drilling out the four existing holes out to 8mm. Basically all you need to achieve is to make the holes big enough to prevent any damping effect coming from the original damping rod as the emulator will do all the work once fitted.

Thank you very much for this. Big help.
I love the engine but the wheels and suspension need some looking at.
I had been considering a ktm fork swap but I think the Paioli forks are probably fine but need better damping.
The back will get a better shock and a talon wheel
