My Greenfield V Twin is only 100hrs old but has just now started to squeal intermittently going forward up steep slopes. I am guessing it is a clutch problem but it may be the drive belt slipping. Machine was just serviced 5 weeks ago. Could dirt on the clutch drive plate be a cause for slippage on a new machine. The drive belt seems tight enough. There does seem to be more play in the forward drive moving plate and it feels hot to touch.

There is no squealing on level ground or mild slopes. Any ideas ?
