quit pounding on it! If it's new you MUST do the break-in procedure. Check it out it probably is running lean.

Lean : Air/Fuel ratio going to the motor is too elevated on the air side. Meaning not enough fuel mixing in with the air before going to the motor. You could try a bigger main jet in your carburator.

A leaner motor makes more power than a richer motor, but at the expense of running hotter. A too-lean ratio can burn a hole through a piston.
