Well I'm no Harley mechanic but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express this summer
I'm thinkin I remember the belt noise when new .
Hardly noticable though and it went away as the belt and sprockets wore in .
I'm thinkin new belt with a set , maybe a little bit of concentricity issues with the sprocket.
Probably nothing to worry about as they are probably within spec .
I would monitor the belt for any abnormal wear , but I'll bet it goes away on its own .
You hear it at low speeds because there is no wind noise then .
Brakes give more of a scuffing sound which I had later as the front disk warped .
Warped beyond fixing ( I'm a toolmaker) week design I say, I went aftermarket there .
