Funny how they went right to the heart of the problem, then gave the "if you want to avoid talking to the stealership" answer.
"A noisy belt could be caused by wheel alignment issues. Check this out with your mechanic or at the dealer.
If your alignment is ok, try cleaning the belt. This may fix your problem."
But not get at the crux of the problem? Why throw lubes at it to hide the problem? All you have to do is align the belt on the front and rear pulleys.
Rear pulley alignment, lift the rear wheel off the ground. With the bike in neutral, rotate the wheel by hand. Observe the belt, is it running in the center or to one side? Adjust as necessary. Now rotate the wheel in the opposite direction, same as before.
Now this is assuming you have a stock belt configuration in good shape and everything in the correct place.
If the belt is not running true in the front pulley, make sure you have the rear wheel spacers on the correct side.
If the belt can't be made to behave in the rear pulley I would suspect the pulley bearing, or the rubber dampers.
