With diagnostic kit you can accurately tell if you're getting 0 - 99%, but even without you can usually remove almost all of the slack by adjusting the spring clip on the outer cable sheath.
Thanks for this -- I presumed they used a electronically-controlled throttle so it's good to hear they use a mechanical linkage which I'm more comfortable with. I'll add it to the list of jobs for this weekend (when I have daylight!) and will see if there is any slack.
