Slow and gentle - DON'T overheat them i.e. don't steam into every bend and stand on the middle pedal. Simple as that.

I looked into this as well, and Dave is correct. From boys who know bed them in slowly, no hard braking at all for 200 or so miles (if I remember correctly). After that gradually increase the pressure of braking or the speed you brake from. Make sure you let them cool completly between hard applications.

If you want anymore detailed explantion I can dig out the emails and forward them to you..
