Like Whiskey said, it is the Throttle Position Sensor. It tells the ECU the position of the throttle. You can see it on the left side of your bike. On the left side between the head and airbox. It is black and has a connector on it.
You car or truck and maybe your outboard has one too.
You don't actually reset the TPS, but rather its function. Doing the reset tells the ECU the TPS voltage range from min. to max. Being simplistic, the ECU uses the TPS to know how much fuel to inject.
Does the reset work on our bikes? Don't know. It is not referenced in the manual. Most of us that have done it have seen results, and is a procedure on other bikes according to our knowledgeable members.
A couple of users have adjusted the TPS by loosening the screws and physically moving the TPS. This is specifically prohibited in the service manual as it is set at the factory and 1. never needs service, and 2. Can't be replaced by itself. Neither of those is necessarily true.
