Once I loosened the cable, it was snug but the binding disappeared.

So far, took it for a quick spin but I can't really tell the difference. I may have shaved off so much that it became less than 1 zip-tie thickness but I can't imagine getting anything thicker on there without it getting caught on something.
I didn't have to adjust the cable any at the carbs. The R6 throttle tube is considerably thicker than the stock Ninja tube. And you can really tell. I had some binding inside the housing if I really tightened the bottom screw. But I found that loosening it released the tension. It's still tight enough to hold it together and keep it in place. But it's not as tight as it was originally.
