It's may be annoying if it happens when you reverse, but it isn't a real problem.
However if this starts to happen when you are going forward it is a problem and will get worse, and eventually no amount of goop, or soap or anything else will cure it. Most likely you need to get your rear swing arm bushings changed. Check that out before it cost you a new belt and a new rear sprocket.
How many miles on this bike? If you're over 50K this is a strong possibility. When was your last tire change? Consider doing it at the next one if you put on a lot of miles.
