Default 700 X2 Pulling

Greetings, all!

I am hoping for info/suggestions with my 2008 700 X2. It recently developed a slight pull to the right. I had raised both of the front tires, and the right front tire has more resistance when spun by hand. The brake rotor is not hot after riding, and the tire pressure is good on all four tires. Is it possible that it has something to do with the wheel bearing and/or the Hilliard assembly? The quad has only 51 hours and 370 miles in ride time on it, and we've only ridden the quad on good Northern Idaho Forest Service Roads. Also, does anyone know where I can purchase the original Polaris service manual? I could not find it on the Polaris website.

I went to a cycle shop and asked them to order a service manual and they happen to let me see the web site they were going to use to order it so I went home and ordered it myself so it could be delivered. That was a long story just to explain the reliability of this site used by this local cycle store. Repair Manual Catalog Online - RepairManual.com

I ordered mine last week and still waiting. cost was $53.94

Does it pull in 4X4 and/or 2X4 mode?

You said when you spun the tires the right tire has more resistance. I believe there is an adjustment screw (hex head) on the front rotor that allows for adjustment. This would allow the wheel to spin more freely if you back it out a little.

Copperhead and Firehog, I found the manual on another site and ordered it, 2 day delivery out of Utah. It pulls to the right in both 2 and 4 wheel drive, when throttled and coasting. It should not have anything to do with the brakes or break adjustment since the disk doesn't get hot when riding. Further ideas appreciated.
