I always think, if in doubt go a touch on the slack side, chain and sprockets will potentially/theoretically wear a tad quicker but you won't wreck your gear box or worse snap your chain.
Refer to owners manual, there should be a diagram and slack measurement. Use a rule to check the slack at the tightest part of the chain. Or Mikes rule is about the correct amount (you'll see if you check it with a rule)
Yes, on the Gen1 thou the chain will slap the swing arm when correct set, hence that plastic thing to protect the swing arm.
So yes I second Mike.
