YOU aren't doing anything wrong. This is NOT a common complaint with a GZ250 (assume that's the bike you are talking about). Could be an exhaust leak or dirty carb.

Any known modifications to the bike?

If you are mechanically inclined we can talk further; if not, try some carb cleaner and if that doesn't help, it's off to the shop.
I suspect the repair will be relatively easy and cheap.
