Id call the shop & ask if they checked/adjusted the idle. Once youve been around it a while, youll get used to the right "beat" from the exhaust. Someone will come along with the "rolling at idle in first gear" speed. Of course, 1,000 rpm in gear would be a bit higher once the clutch gets pulled in, but if on a smooth ,level area, not a lot. Like the oil level itself, there is a range, 1,000 the low end, 1,200 the high end & Id bet that if it idled at 1,500 the hassle would be low speed maneuverability, not some mysterious meltdown. If it wont idle at 1500, then how come it will run all day under load at 5,000? Just as long as you can roll thru a parking lot in 1st & not be running too fast to be safe, (I use the clutch, because it is a bit fast with the tall rear tire & fairly high idle) its not crazy high. Id say, until you know, fudge to the high side.
