Well it was quite obvious on my bike when mine was too tight. Kinda like how you know your primary drive chain is too tight. It just sounds and feels different.
I believe mine had a noticeable whine to it when accelerating. I just loosen mine with the motor idling, just enough till it feels like it's going to start to rattle, then I tightened it a full turn.

i just loosened the locking nut all the way.... and my ape tensioner screws in and out so freely, i could easily tell when it touched the cam guide. the instructions said that once i feel it hit the guide, back out a 1/4 turn and lock it up.
i took it for a test ride, no rattle, and i feel that it's good
