Danno wrote in response to the issue of a jump at the main chain when the throttle is fully released at high rpm (LINK):

The ECU has separate "idle mode" setting and transition to "partial-throttle" settings may cause an abrupt jerk .
Most ECUs will turn off injectors when you release throttle at high-RPM.
...I usually just disable idle-mode by re-programming ECU... This prevents sudden jerking when you open throttle at low-speeds or let off throttle from high engine-speeds

Only issue with disabling idle-mode is cold-starts. ECU won't engage cold-start mode with fuel-enrichment and high-idle speed using IACV if it doesn't detect that TPS is closed. Not a problem if you live in warm climates.
...The slight jerk when letting off throttle at high-RPMs can disrupt smooth cornering at limit.
After all the efforts I have put in to bring the motorcycle to a proper and balanced working condition ("a line treatment"). After a
year I can declare with complete confidence that all my motorcycle assemblies are working properly and go into a regular and routine maintenance schedules.
Yes, the "problem" I have with cold start is meets exactly the characteristics that grate Danno🤴 describes.
These are my options I face:
1. To leave the ECU as it is. In winter add a very small opening of the throttle, about one degree in the throttle, thus simulating the IACV operation. Like I did this the last winter months I had left, when the temperatures dropped to 8°C.
And all the year(Winter and Summer) to enjoy the benefit Danno was mention.
2. To go to Honda's main garage and ask them to reboot my ECU. Maybe whoever touched my ECU also changed the fuel data to a lean mixture, and that's why I had signs of white dots on the plug? So reboot ensures reset all the "nonsense" done on my ECU.
I currently do not see a preference in option (2) over the (1), so I do not touch anything (choose the first option).
It was really challenging year, far beyond what I could have expected when I bought my neglected motorcycle(LINK). Thanks to all the forum members who supported and helped me along the way.
🍺Thank you all very much🍺
