There was a thread on this forum regarding the bleed nipple on the front caliper. Someone had a bent bleed nipple that was allowing air into the front line. The owner had replaced everything else, lines, master cylinder etc until he found this as the problem.

Your front brake on that model bike should be super strong, I know because I have the same bike.

If you are wearing out rear pads, then you need to fully compress your caliper piston and make sure the caliper piston is not seized or stuck.Then make sure the caliper can freely move on the pins. If the caliper piston is seized or if the caliper is not moving on the pins that is your problem.

Make sure that you press the rear brake pedal several times to push the pads back into the rotor or you won't have any brakes when you ride the bike!
