Ok so the wife took the zook for a blast out in the country today and when she got up to 80kph she said it was farting and starving for fuel, so i went and got a new fuel filter ( had these sort of syptoms before and was a $5.00 fix ),I chucked the new filter in tonight and now it idles a 2500 WTF
is going on? got me beat -Im no mechanic

Get a can of engine start
With the engine running selectively spay it at a vacuum line , vsv Valves etc.
If their is a leak the engine should pick up in revs when you spray the right area.
Other things to check is the one way valve into the brake booster
That the acelerator cable isn't Jamed and not allowing proper idle or that the the egr valve is jammed open or vapor canister blocked.
Down load the FSM from [url]suzukiinfo.com[/url]
will give you all the tests for all the carb and vacuum components.most are easy to diagnosis

That sucks, hope it doesn't cost too much or it might be time to put that 1600 in

All good advice here, I've noticed my motorbikes often idle high when the fuel is running out, so it sounds like fuel starvation is probably causing all your problems. Not that hard to take the carb moderately apart and just clean everything out with some clean petrol. Good luck!
