Default Slipper Clutch - Cat SX

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do you know if the slipper clutch is set right?

If I do a full-bore start, or punch the throttle from low speed, I can hear what sounds like the clutch slipping i.e. it sounds like a slipping clutch on a car. The motor reves rise, but not in line with the cars speed.

There is not TONS of slip, but it is noticable.

Is this right, or should you never be able to detect the slipper working?

Is there a fool-proof way of setting the slipper tension, or is it just preference and feel?

Thanks again for any help and advice.

Jack
