I might have found an answer, and I don't know if this will work or not (I haven't tried it yet) but I'm going to soon. I found this on the Concours Owner's Group message board. One of the guys there was complaining about rough running and he got a reply: "Sure sounds like the TPS. Turn the bike on, do not start it. Twist the throttle on full, roll off full, do it twice. Turn off bike, turn back on and start. Go for a ride and see if it works. Report back and tell me I am a motorcycle god, or worthless POSFWIW, this works on GSs that have a similar problem with the TPS, ECU will read the full on/off position and do a rest to the current values. Same holds true when calibrating the PCV or PCIII."
Here's a link to the entire thread if you want to have a look:

I just tried this and I sincerely believe it works! (I actually twisted my throttle to the stop three times). I immediately took my bike for a short, 10 mile ride, and I could feel a difference the first time I let the clutch out leaving the driveway. My bike runs better everywhere below 3,000 RPM, and gone is the stuttering (mis-firing) between 2K and 3K at light engine loads. I am not going to question how and why it works, it just did on my bike. Maybe it has something to do with this being the first time the throttle on this bike has ever been twisted all the way open and the TPS needing this to recalibrate? All I can say is a great big "Thank You!" to mininsx!
I'm glad this worked for you Dave. I've been following your travails with interest. I'm surprised the dealer wasn't aware of this procedure.
Cheers
