I have a NON ABS 2004 and my front does not have a rear link.. my rear has a front link to it. Left caliper in the front has a rear line coming into it. Apply the rear peddle and you get one cylinder on the left front to squeeze .. pull the front and nothing happens to the rear.

so i would say no need to bleed the front master cylinder but i would for no other reason then just in case bleed both the rear caliper and the hose on the top of the front caliper on the left side (thats the one coming from the rear)

I could be wrong.
my rear only has 1 bleeder on it and the front has a total of 3 -- 2 on the left and 1 on the right.. keep in mind i do not have an ABS bike
