Default V-Force engine squeak!

My V- forces engines keeps making a high pitch squeaking noise. It only happens when its idle. It stops whenever i blip the throttle or get moving again it will stop. It doesnt always happen when its idle buy sometimes. I was just wondering if it is something i should worry about. Anyone with any info please help i appreciate it in advance.

It's the drive belt rubbing against the primary clutch when idling. Does it happen in neutral? I bet not. It's usually a sign that the belt is a little tight. It shouldn't be a problem. If on warranty you could get the dealer to check it.
