Could be - I've never measured that, but as for no negative implications, I disagree, as said it's essentially a load sensor - there's no question it will run without the sensor/sensor set wrong, but it's definately better with it set correctly, it's not the difference of pulling a plug lead off, but there is a difference.

FI system work very differently - but the TPS is still a load sensor in the same way - of course it also does other things too.

Many late carb bikes of my knowledge do, mostly from the mid 90s forward.

This is why - not withstanding your obvious careful attention to the carburation - I'm thinking that something else is possibly the problem, SVs are neither notably smooth or notably rough, by what measure do you feel that the bike is not right? I appreciate this is difficult to express in a forum post.

If you wished it disconnected then at the sensor is as good as anywhere else.
TPS setup, (from Suzuki's own workshop manual):
Looking at the end of the connector you will see it is roughly heart shaped, there are three pins, two next to each other at the wide end, and one at the narrow end, call the the single pin at the narrow end 'A' and the upper left hand one 'B' and the right hand one 'C'
Throttle shut - 3.5 - 6.5 K-ohms between 'A' and 'B'
Throttle open - Resistance between pins 'A' and 'C' should be 78% of the resistance of the resistance between 'A' and 'B'.
