That is deffinetly hot. Stupid question though, Is your temp gun in cecius and it says 31.5 degrees. Just a thought. Are you richening both high and low side needles? Have you looked thru the manual to find where the stock needle settings are and set them there and see how it runs? Also, where are you taking your temp from. I know my Werks motor runs between 220-250 but if you temp the pipe where it comes out of the motor it runs about 300.
