I purchased a set of racetech springs and have new fork seals and was going to do the replacement this weekend, I know there's a spacer on the left fork and was wondering if anyone has replaced the springs and knows what length the spacer is supposed to be and is the oil capacity the same per the manual or is it based off a air gap?

I'm assuming because you're asking that Racetech didn't provide any info with the springs. That might be because everyone will want to set them up a little differently, but a baseline starting point would have been nice.
The non-ABS has spacers in both forks, whereas the ABS version only has one, which is in the right fork. So we need to know which version you're working on.

Its a 01 non abs I do have some sort of instructions that comes from a QR code scan the paper with it got set aside with the stickers
I replaced mine, you will be using the spacer provided by Racetech but, it will need to be cut to adjust preload.
Don't remember the oil level setting specifics but it is different based on the year and model. There are different sized forks.

ABSI and Standards - 41mm
ABSII - 43mm
ABSII - 43mm
start out with that and see if it helps.
FWIW, factory spacers are 50mm on the right fork, 132mm on the left fork.
