2 things come to mind, check that drive belt tension or try and locate the sound and see if it is coming from the primary, the clutch can bark or squeel. Cleaning the drive belt and setting the tension can sometimes repair a belt noise and changing primary fluid (atf) can help with the clutch.
You also need to ride it more to prevent garage rot from settling in

I have to agree with 97BAGGER-the first thing I thought of was belt squeel-VERY common.

Rub a dry soap bar on both sides of your belt. No more squeal.
Hatch.
