Where do you purchase these numbered washers to raise the needle in the carbs? Home depot sells the numbered washers but im skeptical and think they might need to come from the suzuki shop?

For my 2006 GS I got #3 washers from ACE Hardware.  They are just plain metric washers.  The number refers to there size.  It is nothing Suzuki specific.

it's a washer. just a washer. ok, a stainless steel (NO RUST!) washer that is standardized (#4 washer) but still, just a washer.

Gaaa ... #4 washers - OK lets see, ~4-5 years ago, when I started this whole jetting thing ... I used to say #2 washers, and people will go to the store like lowes/HD and never find #2. Then some enterprising guys on here figured #4 will do the trick just dont put more than 1, they are fat. So after 3-4 months of fighting with people, one fine day, I caved and said, OK if everyone wants to talk stupid, I'll also learn stupid, so I can guide them in their native tounge.
Then I bought a big pack of #4's cos I didn't want to run to the store everytime someone needed jets. That is the end of #2 ...
Recently someone tole me #3 for 01+, so I bought a pack of that.
See, I dont fight everything.
I remember this cos I have a big ass jar sitting around with assorted crap. However I have forgotten where I put my glasses.
Cool.
Buddha.
