It is safe to do intake, fuel and exhaust upgrades as soon as you get the bike. After all, the things on it now were upgrades compared to not having anything at all...

I personally wait at least 1000 miles before I bolt on anything that is more than peripheral. I like to get a feel for a bike before I start to make changes, that way I know what changes will benefit me the most. For instance, you might think pipes are the thing you want most, but after riding for a bit, find you hate the seat, but are ok with the power it its making.
