I've only ever had trouble with the markers on one Chinese bike, the rest have been clsoe enough. One way to check though is to ride along at 30mph or so, shut the throttle and let go of the bars. If the back wheel is pointing to one side, it'll go that way consistently, e.g. if it goes to the right, you need to tighten the left hand adjuster by one turn (or slacken the right one obviously) and try again.
