    Is there a little electronic motor, or solenoid, that assist with the idle RPM.
    If there is it may be stuffed, or disconected.

    If not don't know how many sensors these things have on them,
    Eg cold start jet.
    Water jacket temp Etc, may be any one of these sending a false or no reading.

    Are all plugs firing on idle.

    Then there could be one or two partially blocked injectors, may only need a clean.

    Could also check fuel pressure see how much is getting up there at idle,
    May have a slight air leak between fuel tank, fuel hose, fuel water seperator, and final filter.

    if you go to the suzy website and download the df 140 brocure it has a schematic layout for the electrics might help to locate the problem

    3 weeks! somehow I don't think the knowledge to tackle the job will magically appear from eyeing a it every now and then, although it is probably making a great learning platform for the techs as they throw darts at the manual for the next part to check.

    IMO time to take the fixing of the engine to others/manufacturer who know about the engine and have the ability to diagnose, they are complicated and parts are very costly so someone who knows what they are doing is the go I suspect.

    Also the more parts they pull/test/play-with the more potential for degrading the overall cleanness (newness) of the engine so more depreciation etc.

    go to a suzuki dealer that has an analyser that will talk to the suzi's ecu. that's pretty much going to tell you if any of the sensors and electrics are at fault, it may have some form of data logging that might give a clue to things not so electric. either way i wouldn't be wasting any more time with the workshop it's been at for 3 weeks.

    Heres Graham and Kays phone number 0418740135. I have known them for quite a while now and they offer great service, were the cheapest on new suzukis by a long way, and he really knows his sh!t.
    Tell him that the Booker boys sent you.

    Cheers Liam
    PS Forgot his address, 9 Kinsellas Rd, Mango Hill
