You'll want to loosen the lock-nut (the smaller one) away from the larger elongated nut. Once it's loose, rotate the larger adjustment nut until you have the desired freeplay. Then hold the longer one still while you tighten down the lock-nut.

 

Yeah what he said, this is why he's my official un-official mechanic. hehe you the man Ed.

That's where the problem lies. Once I loosen the little lock nut, do I turn the long adjusting nut so that it moves left or right (when sitting on the seat)?

Thanks,

Counterclockwise will tighten the cable.
Once you're done turn the bars max left and right and make sure the throttle doesn't stick.

 

You guys are killing me!

When you say clockwise, which way are you looking at the nut. From the left side looking at the nut or from the right side looking at the nut?

Thanks

You'll be able to tell as soon as you start adjusting it..

Lemme put it this way...you want to lengthen the cable to tighten it. Whichever way the nut turns to lengthen the cable...turn it that way. You'll see the nut move out (away from the clip-on) and the throttle play will diminish. Moving it out will be harder to turn than moving it in.
If the play increases, just turn it the other way - no big deal.
But I'll repeat: don't tighten it too much or it'll bind when you turn the bars. Test it first.
