too loose a belt will chirp on deceleration, the outside of the belt will contact the inner primary above the front pulley, causing a chirp.
more common on lowered bikes.

Muffler mounts are usually the prob. Other item to check is the mount clip for bag quick disconnect. Friend had one broke and it emitted a squeek at different rpms. Hard to find. Just lucky and saw bag move.

I found that my noise was coming from the rubber bumper on the rear brake caliper mount squeaking on the swing arm. I tried soooooo many things until I found this by accident when doing a tire change. I dabbed a bit of bearing grease on the rubber bumper, and it went away.
When I was searching for the cause of mine, I found that most here were from the exhaust hangers. They are only $2 or so, try replacing them first.
