I think a bit of common sense has to be used and bollox to the manual.
How often do you change car alternator brushes, 50,000 miles?
I've had cars do over 100,000 miles and never looked at the alternator brushes.
I understand checking serviceable length more often if your alt. power is down a bit but replacing them!
I don't know if the XJ11 alt' is lower powered than the XS11 or the European XS11 had a higher output alt'.
Years ago I ran my XS with a big fairing with extra high wattage lights, radio cassette, and heated grips without any problems with the battery being dead.
