I do it by feel, you want as loose as possible to reduce friction. Must be some up/down movement.

As a rough guide for any belt the longer it is the looser you can run it, so the rear belt should be a bit looser the middle or front.
I found the stock settings too tight and have run mine a bit looser without issues.
I think it would be good if Schumacher had given some guidance or tips for belt tension though. Perhaps one of the videos could be done for such tech tips?
