1515 2D is 2050kv (good 5s motor), you must be thinking of the 1512.
For 6s racing I think between 1500 and 1700kv is good. I like my 1515 2.5d on 6s, but it mostly got raced on 5s.
I'd get a temp gauge and find out what your temp is. If you can hold it for 6 seconds it might not be too bad. If you can only hold it for 2 or 3 then I'd say it's too hot. When it's around 200f it's usually instant ouch. A $30 gauge is worth it though, when talking about $200 motors.
