Yes absolutely that was updated in the later handbooks.
It should now be tensioned with the engine running and tightened until you can hear the whining noise of the chain then back off slightly until the noise has gone.
If you tighten too much you will hear the revs drop as pressure is supplied on the chain again let off and you will hear the revs pick back up.
In general best way is to feel the tension while running you will feel the sweet spot.
