Uneven wear on Break Pads

I have uneven wear on my front break pads; is that normal on the gz250? The left pad is completely gone, the right is about 1/2 worn.

When you install new pads be sure to lube the pins so the caliber can slide freely......Doesn't take much to keep the caliber from sliding & the result is the pad on the piston side does all the work.

..and check the manual about what type of lubrication to use (I forgot...).
And do keep the shims.
