I changed out my rear caliper on my 04XB12R due to some striped threads, and put new Ferodo pads in. I have noticed that the pads are wearing uneven. The pads against the piston seems to be thinner in running them for the last few weeks. I replaced my rotor also and have noticed that the same pad is not wearing the rotor near as smooth as the other side. I checked again to confirm the pads are seated correct and the brakes have been bleed very well with the MityVac. Should I be very concerned. I do have some new OEM pads I could put in place of them. What do you guys think?[confused]
 
I would start by bleeding them again, does it sound like its dragging any, push the bike around turned off and see if its dragging. Push the break down then release it again and see if it drags. Mesure the distance between both sides of the caliper to the rotor and see if they are the same. I don't know if this will help just brain storming.
 
your pads are either not fitted correctly and get stuck somewhere or your system isn't airfree.
also make sure your didn't get a crocked piston during fitting of the pads which could cause it not being able to set enough pressure on the brake.
