Unhappy Weird Noise Help

OK, 2005 Road Glide... at idle, a noise that sounds like a squeaky fan belt we've all heard on automobiles. When I apply some clutch, noise goes away, when I pull in clutch, noise starts up again. Very prevelent at the end of a long ride and not so much when cold...

I would check your motor mount as it may need replacing. Does it go away when in gear and releasing the clutch or only when in neutral and releasing clutch?

Could be a cam bearing spinning in its bore. Engine warms up and the bore gets bigger and outer race of bearing spins in its bore.
