You have no drive pulley bolts, that's an IDS setup. It's possible that the rubber cush drive is shot but I doubt it.

Number 8. There's a procedure for checking it in the service manual. What makes you thing there's something amiss.

It feels like it’s grinding, skipping or clicking. I’ve put the bike on a left And checked the pulley was not tight with the wheel. There is some play very very minimal when you hold the wheel and you push the pulley.

Based on what you've said, I'd pull the rear wheel and have a look at the wheel bearings. ASAP

Oh wow will do, thanks. All this happened when replacing the battery I have dropped the screw and it may have landed on the belt.

Might be better to say that to start with. If it was on the belt it would not grind but could cause damage to the belt. YES if a stray bolt or screw found itself somewhere it shouldn't be, there could be noise.
Drop the rear wheel, check bearing and check brakes. A screw or bolt on the rotor, pads,or caliper could cause noise.

Are you related to my wife?

I found something similar to this when she reported that her right turn signal was "blinking fast".

Hahaha, as I was posting and responding here, I was reading and searching somewhere else, and got my thinking cap on. So that’s when put the 2 and 2 together remembering the screw that I couldn’t find.!

If you pull the rear wheel, Also check the pulley bearings. Pulley can have some rotational play.

OP's bike doesn't have a pulley bearing.
