Re:UN EVEN WEAR FRONT TIRE 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Motorcycle tires will wear unevenly, generally the left side wears faster than the right, in the US anyway, because we ride on crowned roads and the left has more contact with the road. Also we generally take left hand turns at a higher rate of speed and they are longer radius so the tire wear is accelerated. Give more detail about what you are experiencing if this does not seem to fit what you are seeing.

Check the rear wheel alignment. If the rear wheel is off it will make the bike turn; then you turn a bit in the other direction to go straight and cause the front uneven wear.
