Default Belt squeaking

My 2015 Ultra Classic has 30k miles on it , stage 1. I am having issues with belt squeaking. I have checked all bearings , rear pulley looks good , belt has some wear but nothing that shows need replacement. I have tried the dry siilcon , wax on the edge of the belt. The belt tension is also good.
Any ideas of what could cause the squeaking ?

could it be an alignment problem. make sure wheels are in line ( alignment ). there are multiple ways to do this. you can check youtube or google it.

If everything looks good as you explained, then it's probably just a little glazed and very clean.
There is a product called Belt Dressing that would quite things down for ya. I've used it, it works.

Sounds like the inboard side of the rear pulley is worn through

The rear sprocket is the cause. A good friend was getting tires this weekend so he let use his rear sprocket just to see if that could be the problem. After 250 miles no squeak. The rear sprocket is considered wear items so no go on warranty.
I appreciate the responses.
