Default prairie question after belt replacement

i recently had my 05' 360 serviced... I went ahead and took it to a local shop (not a kaw dealer). I hadn't had the machine long and wanted it gone over real good and since the belt light was on, I figured I would have it changed ( i know i should have done it myself, but I wanted it given a thorough going over)
anyway, I put on a slightly heavier aftermarket belt but I did buy the belt from a kaw dealer.
First ride on it after the fact it had a whistle or squeak when sitting still but in gear. If i put it in neutral or give it some throttle the whine goes away.. I took it back to the shop and they said they would prob need to add or remove a shim.
Is there anything I should worry about? I didn't feel real confident in the actual mechanic's reaction to it, he was told about the shim by the shop owner.
How bad could it get screwed up?
