Manual CTT adjustment?

Any body have experience adjusting manual cam chain tensionors? I tried to do the quick fix with the stock tensionor on my Kawi to get rid of some of the “kawi click”, and wasnt sure if i overtightened it or not.

So I ordered an APE manual adjuster and it will be here wednesday.

Does anybody have tips on adjusting these so that I dont drive myself crazy when im trying to get it right?
