TPS SETTING

I made a start on checking the TPS yesterday. After removing the airbox I located the idle grub screw (located on the throttle body of the upper cylinder, quite tricky to get a allen key onto).
I then did a reference check on the mV signal at the computer plug, 390mV which although is not important lets me know a reference point.
So now Im thinking to myself, I'll back of the idle screw and check/set the exact 150mV signal I need, but whats this, the idle screw is backed out and the butterfly's appear shut tight !!!! As the bike starts and idles OK I am going to assume the air bleeds must be backed right out ??? The 390mV is the TPS reference point and the bike has run OK ??
This obvoisly is not the way to set the bike up but it appears that is the way it is. I have not progressed the job further as any I wanted a second opion that the obove setup would still allow the bike to run.
This is the bike I took to Sigma last October for a FIM chip that could not be made to work (engine "missing" all the time) and had to have the original chip put back. Neil said to me at the time that my TPS reading seemed strange to him, and I could not leave the bike behind for futher work.
I think I should now set the TPS to 150mV, close the air bleeds and open the idle screw to start the tuning process correctly.

Any thoughts ?

Thanks
