You said you can get the squeek in neutral if you rev it up. Have someone else hold the throttle and get down on your hands and knees and crawl around it slowly to see if you can at least narrow down the area.
That being said, I haven't seen mention of this but the horn. That little thing is rubber mounted. Perhaps that it is.
But realistically the squeek happening even standing still when revved up means it isn't in the drive line. It is something squeeking due to resonate vibration. Look under your seat. Could be a plug that is rubbing somewhere.
I really like the baby powder idea for testing if it is the belt though. Way smarter than oil.

Squeeking in neutral,, hummm, have you changed the primary oil very recently? I have seen a condition where the primary drain plug was run in a bit too deep and just barely rubbing the clutch basket . If you have the drain plug that screws in from the side at the bottom of the primary cover.
