It's the one that is closer to the frontside of your bike. I ALWAYS tighten my throttle slack up because I'm so used to the instant response of the race carbs I used to have on my old bikes. With stock setup there is already a slight delay in power response which is more noticeable with slack in the cable. When you adjust the cable make sure you do it a little at a time and sit on the bike in the riding position with the engine running, turn the bars full lock to the left, rap the throttle, turn it full lock to the right, rap the throttle again, making sure you don't get stuck throttle. I have done this adjustment for a lot of friends and they can't believe the difference, some say it feels like a jet kit was installed. Another note: check your chain, you can lose 5 horsepower from an inadjusted or dry, kinked chain.

I want the throttle tight in the beginning its a bit loose !
