How tight? ... Please help

[mjsonar]

I am going to tighten the chain on my wife's Fazer, but I have never tightened a chain before. So how tight should I get it? I know it is a simple question and I should know the answer but I need some advice Please....

When I adjusted the chains on my bike, I always went with around 3/4" of play at it's loosest point.

Take a peek at this write-up on chain maint. It's good info.
