spray the dust and grime off with some water
could be some rocks/sand/road debris that stuck to the belt and makes the noise when it hits the sprocket , somewhat common for me when i ride through dusty dirt backroads.
The first time it happened I thought i had the dreaded bad needle bearings.....made it for a scary and annoyed ride home.
Display MoreSpent today riding from Las Cruces, NM to Alpine, Tx. No issues during the trip.
This evening we cranked up the SS to go to dinner and there is a loud squeak squeak coming from the belt. At least I hope it is the belt. Any suggestions?

Not a problem, you may not even hear it tomorrow.
It's defective. Take it back where you got it from and demand a refund.
On second thought, what them other dudes said.

Someone definitely sold you a lemon!

You went to White Sands this morning - remember, I warned you about getting that gypsum in the belt & pulleys & recommended you wash that area off as soon as possible... I have never had a belt squeal on that SS & can guarantee that’s the cause.

we will take good care of him and the nuclear beast sir so you take good care of you and hurry back
That’s what I am thinking.

we've all had that issue and know how meticulous Larry was about the belt tension - a garden hose will solve the problem 99.99% of the time
That’s what I am thinking.

You being originally from this area, you know how dusty it is here. After every ride, I used high pressure air & cleaned the dust out of the belt & pulleys (probably why I never had belt squeal). That belt adjustment is perfect. Now that gypsum from White Sands is a totally different story - it’s bad news for belts/pulleys. Get a hose & wash belt/pulleys (front & rear pulley!) thoroughly, rolling SS a little to get all areas. She should be fine after that. Hope you two have a safe and awesome trip. Start a thread to document it! 
Received an email from @pricejh61 this morning. Belt & pulleys were washed & all is well...
