I would like to add to this excellent post of chain adjustment.
As a final check to see if the chain is adjusted right:
1. get the bike off the main stand.
2. have someone check for slack with you sitting on the bike with your feet on the pegs (get two friends to help).
3. if you intend to ride with a pillion get him to sit on it too.
4. the combined weight will compress the rear suspension & straighten the swingarm, which will lead to further tightening of the chain.
5. if its too tight/ loose, readjust.
6. make sure that the left & right adjustments are same or else the wheels will be out of line twisting the tyre out of shape(tread edges projecting upwards).
