    You are describing very fast brake wear. If riding style is the cause, you'd also go through tires quickly, so how many miles are you getting out of your tires ???

    32,000 miles, still original pads, and they are good, just changed the tire.
    Take the bike for a ride without much brake use then feel the rotors.

    Is your front brake fluid reservoir overfilled? If it is, that fluid can expand when warm... and it will have nowhere to go except to the pistons; thus making your brakes drag.

    The fluid level is definitely worth checking, and it could have been overfilled when all the fluid was changed during the brake recall. It wouldn't be the first time a dealer caused a problem while performing the recall.
