U didn't say if all three was done,, I run tranny 10k and change, motor and pri I do around 5k

With only 1k on motor and pri, if mine, I'd leave it.
IMO the heated garage (mine is heated too) is a lot better than one that's left outside all the time here in the north.

As long as when you start it up you ride it until the engine oil reaches full operating temp and then at least ten miles more, you should be fine.

No...it will be fine. Don't waste time or money changing it if it's only got 1k miles on it.
