    How loud is this "screeching"? If it is loud, it is not normal!

    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

      Mabbe dirt has accumulated between the disc pads.Get them cleaned.How loud is the screeching sound?? Mabbe ur pads are rubbin against the disc too much hence that sound.Is ur front wheel free?? Check how many turns u get.If u find the wheel hard to turn then the culprit r the pads.Check them immediately.And also ride ur bike for a 1-2kms n check whether disc is getting hot or not.
