The easiest thing to do is see what MOM says, or the Motorcycle Operators Manual that comes with the GS500. It has all the information you need, but here is the gist. You need to find the half-way point between your front and rear sprocket on the chain, and mark the height of the chain. At this half-way point, your are basically looking to be able to push the chain up about 1 to 1.5 inches. If less then it's too tight, if more then it's too loose. So determine the difference of the chain height at rest compared to when you are pushing it up.
