FLHTCU drive belt adjustment

I have a little over 10K on the bike and I purchased it right after Christmas last year. I'm just lucky enough to live in a state where you can ride year around. I was out for a ride today and every time I gave it some gas their would be this squealing sound coming from the left rear side. When I got home I checked the belt and there is more than 3/8 play in the belt when it is on the jiffy stand so I thought I would adjust the belt and see if that takes care of the squeal.

If its not the belt I will take it to the dealer and they can fix it under warranty. Also, when I let off the throttle and coast the squeal is gone but when I give it gas and the rear wheel is under load the squeal returns.

I inspected my belt a Little closer this morning and everything is within spec. I took my air compressor a blew the belt and drive pulley off real good and used some bar soap on the outer edges of the belt. Took it for a ride and all the squealing is now gone even under hard acceleration.
