With enough practice and experience, you can get a feel for right tension when pushing on chain. Until you get that feel down, chain should be checked regularly and tension inspected. Only adjust if necessary.
Hard to quantify, what you need is CCT with gauge. Some kind of calibrated mechanism to keep chain at proper tension.

since deals gap ride is over. im on on the ninja. installing manual tensioner. difficult to press on chain when the chain/guard is over it. i can just get my fingernail on it and just push it down.
