Well, you want it tighter than at the track because obviously road surfaces are imperfect and there's more chance of throwing a chain, but I can't really say an exact measurement. It's mostly by feel is how I gauge it, but you don't want the chain so tight that when you trackstand, you can't feel the chain loosening/tightening at all.
