last 4-5 times out the belt squealed a little, just a little chirp but never heard that be for. is that something i should look into or let it go. about 850 miles on it and it was up to temp when it chirped. what do you think?

What size and type (single/twin) do you have? Sounds like just belt loosening up. time to  pull a shim out of the secondary. If you have the kawasaki set-up not hard to do and they sell a cpl different thickness shims to get the perfect deflection. Mine normally chirps a lil bit but I keep her a lil on the tight side. Also could of gotten wet??

Mine does it, has since it was new. Replaced the belt at 2k and was told the orig had nothing wrong with it. Makes a nice spare now.

Ride it like you stole it!
