As someone else has mentioned, you need to turn the idle down a little. It is a simple matter of finding the idle adjuster screw, which is normally a black plastic knurled knob and turning it till the engine revs drop down to the appropriate speed. I have never looked over a 250R, so you might need one of the other mmenber in here who owns one to point it out to you.

yep, set the idle once the bike is warm.
then you will find it needs the choke to idle smoothly when cold. then once its warm turn the choke off and ride happily with a nice proper idleing bike
