As far as your forks go...they could have been torqued when it was droped by the person you bought it from. Support your bike from falling so you can get your front tire off the ground. With the tire off the ground loosen your fork tubes from the upper and lower triple trees...you only need to loosen them. With your risers off you can check the measurements of how much tube you have sticking thru the upper triple tree. Make sure both sides are the same and retighten bolts. Lower the bike and cycle thru suspension travel and adjust as necessary. A block or something of the sort under the tire will keep the tubes from sliding all the way out while you got the triple trees loose.
I torqued mine pretty bad and sprung the rear shock when I dumped mine last fall. This is what I done to mine to fix it and its right as rain.
Hope this helps
