Hi, Got the belt squeak at 3500 KM. Belt out of alignment tooth wear on wheel pulley. Also a build up of black dust. No noise after realign belt & clean up. As I have an aluminium pulley I have ordered a steel one.
What next!!!!!
Hang in there...

I checked over a friend's M3W today and came across this:   The whole of the rear wheel compartment (under the plastic tray) was covered in sticky tar-encrusted stones, presumably from a newly resurfaced road. Unfortunately one of them had got stuck to the underside of the drive belt and over time has worked its way through the belt. We have removed the stone and are encouraged that the belt hasn't split either side of the hole. In an ideal world the belt would be replaced, but (as that's a pig of a job) we have decided to monitor it for the time being. A great advert for having a rear mudguard fitted!

Apparently not - The owner wasn't aware of it anyway!

that is huge, how did you not hear that? Also, would that not cause all sorts of slipping and create a lurching feeling even at speed?

This happens a LOT on Harleys and there really is not any indication that you have picked up a stone unless you see it.
They do not slip and in most cases do not make any noise.
I'm guilty of not looking at my drive belt unless I'm servicing my bike, so a stone could stay in the belt for thousands of miles. I've not heard of a stone this size ever causing a broken belt. The good quality belts are VERY strong.
