Any ATV gurus? Suzuki quadrunner 500 4x4 questions

I just bought it and love it. Its a 99 with 621 miles. I do have a few questions for those who might have some answers..

1. It pulls to the right. I have checked the air pressure and it is equal between the two front tires. I sags a little to one side. Both shocks are adjusted to the same setting but there is a 1/16 - 1/8 difference in the spring length at this setting. Should i have the toe checked and possibly adjusted? It might just be a trick of the eyes but it looks to be a little out.

2. Any suggestions on tires? I want something for trails and some gravel roads.

3.I have purchased the stuff to change the plug, oil, and air filter. Anything else i need to do?

Bleed the brakes and check to see if one of the calipers is sticking.

its probably a simple tie rod adjustment that will stop the pulling.

measure the toe yourself. use the wheel's to measure, and make sure the wheels are straight.

take it for a ride only using the rear brake, then check if one of the front disc are warmer/hot.
