Chirp in 5th
I have recently been hearing a chirp when in 5th gear, but it is only when I have a rider and it doesn't happen every time. I checked the forum and found a couple of suspects (primary, clutch, etc...) but still can't find anything wrong.
The only other thing I can think of is the exhaust, but all the gaskets look good and everything is tight.
Thanks for the help

Just replaced not too long ago. Not frayed and still almost brand new. Everything is still aligned correctly |

Check the adjustment
Mine would chirp when the air temp was low and before the belt was warmed up

+1 mine did that, usually only prior to the belt warming up as well.

Also make sure your tire isn't rubbing somewhere under the fender when you have a passenger.
