As Sid said as little play as possible before the throttle engage (which would cause the revs to rise hence affecting idle) my SV has literally a mm of play before the revs change, this is correctly adjusted. The cables are adjusted at the carbs or about 6" down the cable there is also an adjuster, you will need to lift the tank and take the air box off to get to the carb ones, you will then see 2 adjusters, one for the push cable and one for the pull cable (this is the one you are talking about)

Clutch lever adjustment onlt adjusts the slack in the cable, it does not adjust the clutch itself. Clutch adjustment is carried out on the engine end behind the front sprocket cover.
