FOUND THE ARTICLE!
No mention of specific weights but one mention in passing of it being good for "average weight riders" so there it is.

I'd like to pass the magazine original I have to someone more regular to the board (Will?) so those that want a copy can still get it.

Justabiker-
The common "fix" by the dealer for the chain pad problem is to soften the suspension but this only fixes the symptom, not the root cause of the premature wear. Those that have done it have reverted back reporting that it is too soft. Personally, I'd choose proper suspension setup over chain guard wear. I also think that within the standard range of settings for the suspension the bike shouldnt have any problems. So, the fact that it is made worse with the stiffer suspension settings only points to the larger problem of the premature wear. it should be on your dealer to fix problem with the new gearing.
