Default Drive belt adjustment

Anyone familiar with the process to adjust belt? I haven't found a manual yet for my 12 model? The bike just had the 1000 mile service done before I purchased it, but the belt seems really tight compared to my street glide? Should it be tighter than 2wheel bikes? I have the tools, and saw the adjusters when installing lift kit.
Just not sure of process?

Have you checked out the sprocket change thread, here is the section dealing with belt tension https://www.hdforums.com/forum/7599769-post80.html.

The manuals are money well spent, you will have to buy the touring manual and the trike supplement.
