From the Kawasaki service manual. Bike on center stand.
Rotate the wheel to find the tightest spot & measure the vertical movement midway between the sprockets.
Drive chain slack = 30-35mm (total up & down movement of the chain).

I use a folding carpenter's ruler taped to a wood block, which frees up one hand to spin the wheel & the other to check the slack.
