True. It's also true that they will give you pretty conservative advise in
order to protect their reputations and minimize the amount of future
warrantee work they might have to perform.
But if you understand that the very same conservative advise also protects
*you*, the customer, as well as your bike; the most intelligent course of
action should become obvious rather quickly.

Even if warrantee work is free, it is still time out of your life. I
would lean very heavily towards following the manufacturer's advice.

seat the rings soon as possible. at low moderate speed in high gear,
hold at W.O.T. to 75mph then, W.C.T..
engine brake back down to low moderate speed. repeat at lease six
times.
now, follow manufacture's recommendations. g-luck with your bike and
ride safe.

Hey James, who bought your old Magna? There's a slight chance that I now have
it. Red 94 Magna, bought in Columbus a couple of years ago. I got it from a
guy who has a garage full of V65 Sabres. Lived near Indianola Avenue.
