Given what Randy B says here:
Deanohh's observation here makes some kind of sense to me.
And, just to throw in my $0.02 worth, I tried this (it couldn't hurt could it?) and I think I noticed two things when I went for a decent ride yesterday.
First, the bike seems smoother at low revs. So, riding through a 60 km speed limit at 2000 rpm, the bike felt better than I think it has in the past.
Secondly, as I left the town I overtook a truck and I was sure the bike accelerated a whole lot more quickly than it has for a while.
These, of course, are entirely subjective views, but it seemed to me to make a difference.

Basically it's telling the ECU what the full open and full closed values are so it can meter the fuel properly. It doesn't change the fuel map or spark curve, just tell it when to start and stop and the gradation in between.

I have to grip at zero throttle with my wrist curved and hand more over the top so that I can go from z to 100% with my hand/wrist turn. I do this a bunch of times then go for a ride. The bike is now a rocket. What happened? My grip at zero has changed so that what seems like my usual hand inputs result in more actual throttle .
