Is it advisable to fit Akrapovics on a NEW bike or wait until 1000km service?

Hi WD's

Im getting a brand new KTM 990 Adventure next week
(spare me the whole why arent you getting an 1190 question please, I like my choice)  :thumleft:

I just want to know whether its bad to fit Akrapovics, or any other 3rd party exhausts for that matter from the start, in other words, before the bike has been run it for at least 1000km?

I dont plan to ride the bike like a maniac I promise, but I dont want to have to wait for a 1000km like I have been advised to wait.
Is there a logical explanation for this?

Thanks for your advice!
