Hard rear suspension

Hi all.

I bought a XT660X 2009 in March so I'm still new into these bikes. I've lurked around here and read about certain mods.

Mods so far:

Removed the snorkel
Raised the CO-level from 20 to 35
Yamaha original handguards

But to my question. The stock suspension is set to almost soft. Just one notch from the softest setting. I've turned the spring-preload to the softest. And I'm still think the suspension is pretty hard. I'm 80Kgs and I don't have passengers on my bike. The chain is rolling on the lower rubber chain roll all the time. I guess that bearing will be toast pretty fast

Are you experience this "problem" ?
