You will need to adjust the cable and at the engine.
On my KZ1000 the mid-cable adjustment is screwed all the way in. The handlebar adjustment is screwed about an 1/8 to 1/4" out. Then the engine adjustment is screwed in until there is no slack, then backed out a half turn if I remember right. Once the engine adjustment is finalized then take all the slack out of the cable at the midway adjuster on the cable. Then fine tune it at the clutch lever adjustment.
It's best to consult your manual as there are differences.
If you pulled the clutch rod all the way out, make sure the single ball bearing didn't roll and fall out or there will be slack. It needs that ball bearing in there if it was equipped with one.
