I sit on the bike and reach down and grab the chain... if I can move it a couple of inches... it's good. Too tight and you stretch the crap out of your chain...

With the Weight if the bike on the kickstand, it should be 55-65mm from the screw on the chain rub to the center of the chain pins.

This is for A and H series bikes.
