Default 04 rancher 4x4 alignment

i have an 04 honda rancher 4x4 that pulls slightly to the right. driving on pavement around 30 mph on right hand turns its ok but turning left hand turns it feels like it wants to tip over on the right hand side. ive checked wheel bearing its good. brakes arent seizing either. i havent checked the toe in yet but was trying to find the actual alignment specs

Check that the handlebars are pointing straight when the wheels are, as this gives the feel of it pulling to one side. A bent frame or wishbone will do the same. One tyre inflated more than the other or uneven wear will also affect steering. Check the swinging arm bearings if it feels like it wants to tip over. Kawasaki KLF300s all feel like that, due to their rather soft rubber bush swinging arm arrangement. A broken front spring also causes this. Can be just half the first coil gone, so difficult to spot.

Alignment needs to be done with the average passenger load weight of 1 or 2 people who will be using the ATV. Tire alignment will change with varying loads.
