Did not work.
After a call to Sixity who made my brake pads, we did some research and found out that there are 2 forms of the GZ250's front brake pads, the FA106 and the FA106/2. They are the exact same shape, but they have different pad thickness. The FA106 pads are 7mm thick and the FA106/2 pads are 9.5mm thick, so FA106 will fit into a bike that can take FA106/2 but NOT the other way around. I will be needing to sand my pads down to make them fit. I believe that all GZ250's take the FA106 and will not
take the FA106/2, so buyer beware.

I hope that this helps someone who's running into trouble with their pad replacement.

DO NOT sand them down......brake dust is bad for your respiority & breathing..
