ECMSpy is a tool for changing your EEPROM content on the ECM. Rather than understand ECMSpy, you would be better off understanding what you want to do with ECMSpy.

- TPS reset + idle adjust (my idle is at ±900rpm)
Easy, there is a How To for this.

- Sort out the shaky front brake (warped disk or crappy pads - who knows)
If it happened after you swapped the levers, why not swap the levers back and see if the pulsation is still there? I bet it is and I bet you 50p, this is pad deposits. Pull the disc and run round with some emery paper. I have tried scotchbrite and harder pads to try and wear these deposits off with limited success. My quest led to a disc hone, which I have yet to use, but I reckon running the disc through emery paper would do the trick. I will be doing that on my disc when I get the enthusiasm...

- Clean the throttle body
Pull the air box cover and spray some carb cleaner in. I would have the engine running at the same time.

Great idea, but why this additional wire?

- Check tension of primary chain
Follow the manual...

Also, I'd say (but I never tried another Uly) that my bike runs fine overall.. but it could definitely do with a dyno run to know whether some ponies have run away or I'm just being paranoid.
Do a TPS reset and maybe check your static timing. You can use ECMSpy or just look for the trigger of the pump when the timing line is in the centre of the timing hole. Not sure where your ponies will be hiding, more likely to be you getting used to the bike. At 22k miles, I would have thought your piston rings would not be particularly worn out

Would anyone be able to recommend a good (competent and not as expensive as Warr's) mechanic in London who could dyno+tune the ECM (cold enrichment might be a good start)?
You only need to do the TPS to start off with. Lets not get too excited about tuning, it will get the last 5% out of the bike and make it run smoother, but to be honest I couldn't recommend anyone, the more I read about how people tune, the more I am convinced they don't understand how the ECM works and that my friend is the key... Take note of praise for
when people have had their bikes serviced by him, 'it runs much smoother' and 'feels like a different bike',
will not have done anything special to the fuel system apart from ensure that everything is as it should be, no tuning involved...
