Very common with the front calipers on these bikes.
As the pads wear and the pistons move closer to rotor,
the pistons tend to want to return back to the same place
as with new pads. Pull pads and move pistons out as far as possible.
Clean up the residue on pistons with brake clean,tooth brush and then push them
back in all the way. Re install pads, pump lever then tie brake lever back to handgrip over night.
On mine and other bikes this fix usually lasts for about 2 years. Then you do it all over again
