Is this for the CBR?

Either way, the best bet is to use a Rear paddock stand as this keeps the swing arm loaded by the weight of the bike, and lets the wheel turn to check tension. Failing that spin the rear wheel or move the bike around until you find the tightest point. Centre stand will give you a reading that will be fractionally looser than it will be when the bike's on it's side stand, so you can over tighten if not careful.

Slacken off the rear wheel spindle, you have an adjuster on each side of the swing arm, move both adjusters back by the same amount (use 1/4 turn at a time or something till you get a feel for it). When you're happy with the chain tension, do the rear axle up again.

ALWAYS check the whole chain carefully for tension when you're done, my ZX6 takes up some slack in the chain when you do the rear wheel nut up properly as the swing arm flexes slightly, you may also have missed a tight spot. Turning it into a bowstring at one point is something you want to avoid.
