How many miles on your bike? I had the same problem. Turned out the rear pulley was worn out. If you search this site you will find some guys put teflon spray, lanolin, bees wax and other stuff on their belt to quiet it. Those things work for a short time, then the noise comes back (doesn't solve the problem). Sent my rear pulley to SuperMax (SuperMax Belt Drives For Harley-Davidson Motorcycles) and had them put a poly overlay on it. Problem solved and now it will last forever!

Ok, interesting to hear, my bike has about 6500 miles.

6500 miles is not that many. My rear pulley was worn out at 20,000 miles. You mignt try one of the prior mention products on your belt and see if it quiets the noise. If not, it some other problem.
If your rear pulley looks like this, it's worn out;

I'll check, I don' think it's worn out, thank's

I had the same squealing at slow speeds and it was the belt rubbing against the pulley. The local shop re-aligned the rear tire and I have not had the problem again.

Little spray on front pulley, and noise is gone today after a little test ride.
Same distance yesterday and it was there.
Great people here chatting :2thumbs:
