Ah, yes, the sound of dry rubber on polished aluminum....

It's normal to get a bit of chirping when chopping the throttle when it's really
humid
or after a rain, also when it's cold, the first few miles it can happen.
First thing to check would be belt tension and alignment.
If that doesn't fix it, you can dress the outer edge of the belt with a Napa
product called
Sil-glyde, a rubber compatible lubricant. A temporary fix at best.
