Of course. However I learned this when I was very new (~1000 miles), and I was getting closer and closer too the centerline.. Made this mistake of rolling off the throttle on the SV in 2rd gear, the bike stood itself up and refused to turn. I realized my mistake (thanks MSF) and slowly rolled back on, and luckily didn't cross over. I had done the same EXACT thing on my friend's EX500, when I was on my permit, and it didn't effect the turning nearly as much as the harder engine braking from the SV.
I was pointing this out, because on a bigger V-twin, throttle imputs are predictable but quite sensitive. You won't notice the effects of mistakes like this on a small parrallel twin as much as a big Vtwin, because of how the engines are configured.
