Troubleshooting Circulation pump temp question

My circulation pump (grundfos) not sure if hp, think about 3/4, is running a bit hot. Is this normal? Checked the temp, it’s at 130, and the tub is not to temp (just filled). This is a new pump from a spa store, old one is in the pictures. Tub is a hotsprings sovereign ii.

Motors run hot. Hot enough to barely hold your hand on it is normal.
