You really need the exact manufacturer's specification.
But if your stuck I adjust a Honda CG125 to 20mm sag at about the area of the rear tire side wall.

Put the bike on it's centre stand so the rear wheel is free to spin
Slacken the rear spindle/axle bolt till its just finger tight.
Adjust BOTH adjuster slightly Turn one revolution on the left side then one revolution on the right side. This should keep the rear wheel alignment correct. (Assuming it is correct to begin with).
Lift the lower part of the chain up with one finger until you feel resistance. Measure the distance from here to where the chain lies at rest.
Adjust again if needed to get the correct slack.

Tighten the rear spindle bolt again.
