Throttle slack on '22 701 SM

Tried sorting out some throttle play on my '22 Husqvarna 701 Supermoto while doing a round of spring maintenance, and the KTM-style spacer kit didn't match up one bit. Housing's shaped different and won't seat right. Has anyone handled this kind of slack during their regular upkeep?

Oh, yeah... the 701's throttle housing is a little different compared to the KTM's setup. So for me what I did was I just adjusted the free play at the cable junction near the throttle body. No more fuss after that.
 
Thank you! That explains why the spacer kit was not working for me. I will adjust the play at the throttle body this afternoon. That is a much simpler way to handle it.
