OR maybe a loose bolt on the rear pulley or the front pulley nut is loose.

Not normal. Does it sound like it's coming from the front, rear or both? You might want to have someone watch the belt while you move the bike for any "jumping". As has been said, something in either the belt or a pulley is the most likely culprit, and if it's a piece of asphalt it may be very hard to see. You could also check that the front pulley nut isn't loose, easy to do. It could also be the bearing in the rear pulley.

Great glad you found it. These motorcycles - so many moving parts, so many things to make noises.
