checked the plugs as well and they indicate that the bike may be running very slightly lean as it is

Don't you mean 330mV (0.33V)?
Doesn't matter when you adjust it relative to the valve clearance adjustment, but you'll want to set the TPS (and reset the ECU) before you balance the throttles.
In my experience lowering the voltage will make surging worse, raising it will make it surge less because the mixture's slightly (very slightly) richer and it burns more smoothly. Around 360-370mV should be about right but a lot of people experiment between 340-390mV to find a setting that suits their bike best.

I reset one last week, was at 0.33 volts and running badly, tweaked it up to 0.37 volts and its running like a watch

that sounds like a plan mate ,,,
what is it ??? an OBD daignostic tool that uses a laptop ??? or handheld tool ?? i have an obd tool for flashing ecu's in cars with a bmw lead but no gs software .. to be honest , i dont think i'd like to hook the bike onto my laptop and read the eprom in case i killed the bike lol

are we talking about the fuse that i have marked here ?????
Yes, that's the fuse we're talking about - it's the one for the Motronic. It's easy to tell you've got the right one - turn the ignition on without it and the fuel pump won't start.

if you do a search on here for gs911 it will show you what it does i have been so busy lately i have not had time to research it properly in fact i only registered it and downloaded the software yesterday basicly you connect it to the bike and the laptop and i assume any faults will be recognised and shown the good thing is i like you have an 1150 so it should work and as i said if you think it may help you are more than welcome to use it

tps = throttle position sensor , the black plastic box mounted to the nearside throttle body by 2 allan or torx keys ,, think its bosch or motronic ,, has a multiplug on the bottom of it ..... hope this helps
That's because:
There are mentions of the TPS scattered all over the forum - have a browse through the 850/1100/1150 thread and you'll be falling over them before too long.
Cheers lads. Found a nice useful set of instructions here

ok , reset TPS to .360v tonight , but noted that voltage was bouncing around a bit . got it to settle down and took the bike for a test run , engine was sweet as a nut !! no pulsing and no vibration at any speed , i could even see out the mirrors , lol , however , i stopped for a smoke and switched the bike off ,,, when i restatred it it was back to normal ,, i.e. pulsing ,, vibrating mirrors etc , ... rode it home and re-checked TPS voltage , which was at 0.190 . reset it to 0.360 , twisted the trottle a few times and it returned to 0.360 , switched ignition off and back on and voltage had dropped to 0.200... any ideas ????

ok , got the tps sorted , tried to balance the tb , no joy , so started spraying carb cleaner all over looking for air leaks ,, sprayed the bottom of the left hand cylinder,near the engine block and the engine cut out abruptly ,,,, started it back up ,, repeated this and it cut out again ?????? air leak ??? or is it supposed to do this ????? HELP PLEASE ,,, anyone got a pdf covering the engine ,, i.e. schematics etc

just hoping theres an engine breather in that region that is drawing the carb cleaner in and cutting engine out.
There is no engine breather that would 'suck in' anything from the atmosphere unf, carb cleaner or otherwise. I have no idea what your problem is (someone else will be along soon enough with an idea) but, it has to be said, it doesn't sound healthy....
