My workshop manual suggests setting the throttle valve clearance (Slide Height) for initial carb balance with a 0.7mm dia wire - but this relates to the z1000 A2.

The Mark II has cut-outs at the bottom of the slides so:

Does anyone know what the clearance should be?

& where do you measure the clearance from ?

I wouldn't get too hung up on this point. Just set the stop so you can see a fraction of light thru them and once the bikes running then you can set the idle.

Balancing is more of a concern

Mark is correct
Some like to set the gaps evenly on the carbs before fitting to the bike
but as soon as You start to balance them You will upsetting this anyway
