From what I understand, the belts have the wrong angle on the side wall so they squeak/squeal when starting out. Mine has just started doing it also. A friend went back to the dealer with his and got a new belt. 10 hours later it started squealing again.

Supposedly Kawasaki is comming out with a new belt that has the correct angles. The squealing won't hurt anything, so just rev the engine higher and you won't hear it.
