Brake rotor for 2008

I just bought a 2008 GZ250 and need to replace the front brake rotor. I see several used ones listed on Ebay, but none for an '08. Looks like the rotor is the same as earlier models. Is that correct?

I haven't pulled it all apart yet, but the rotor feels like its warped when braking and the back side is pretty chewed up.

Sounds like somebody didn't replace the pads & they chewed up the rotor.The inner pad wears first on a sliding caliber system.
:cool:
