I do 800 in a sportster (883 roadster) and a TC96 (FXDC).
not telling ya to do it, just saying it works for me. better than that, the bike does not 'accelerate' to 1500rpm on cold-starts (god, I hate that), it starts @ 1100rpm when very cold, on warm days starts @ 1000rpm and drops to 800 from there.

The 1400-1500 RPM startup shortends the duration.
Cold RPM time Is decreased by 20-40%
Think of it this way,,,
The goal Is to get the Oil up and everything coated.
So you want to "Lift Oil" and start the warm up process ASAP.
What Is faster 1500 rpms or 1100,,,,,,,,,,,,
