Here is a link to an earlier thread from the BMW Sport Touring Forum where I was prompted to replace rather than try to find someone to rebuild the existing trans.

The process you outlined makes perfect sense.  I will run through the process later this week and reply with my findings.

The top coil and spark plug weren't lighting because the lead leading into them wasn't establishing a good connection. Once the Tupperware was gone, the problem was quickly remedied. After installing the new spark plugs, I started the engine with the lower coil disconnected, then reconnected, and finally started the engine with both coils connected.

Yes, the replacement would be a better choice

The process of " turning on the ignition, then slowly opening and closing the throttle 3 times" is one of the urban myths which wont die which persist on the 650GS models no matter how many times it is debunked & is claimed at different times to calibrate/reset TPS

TPS position is read when ignition is turned on & 0 position is set, max position is set when to a default when reset under diagnostics command & the value is increased when riding & throttle is opened more than the default, all easy to see when using diagnostics & real time logging

GS911 does have a throttle remap feature.  I have no idea if it works?

This is just spam, I'm removing that from the thread.

Wayne's answer is relevant though :-)

Kind regards
