Put them in your calipers, charge down turn 1 and sqeeze as hard as you can and don't let go...
Repeat 2 more times if you can get your bike running again
see, no Vesrah comments :P
Kevin:
Paul knows, I can't remember. Paul has had really good luck with his EBC brakes, but he takes the time to bed them in properly.
I have e-mailed our number to you, but you will need to give me a few minutes to get off the net (I only have dial-up).
Dawn :)

Do this 50 times :P
Hey Kev, I even put a helmet on for ya ;D
I had great luck w/ the EBC's.
I would break in a fresh set by spending about 10 minutes in the pits driving around while lightly dragging/releasing the brakes, while I was still on the throttle. No hurry.
Then some light/slow stops.
Then head out into practice and go easy on the brakes, using them a little harder each lap...and by the last couple of laps hitting them pretty good.
After that, they worked great :)
I always got real good feedback from them, loved the intitial bite and braking power.
Could've done w/ a little bit lighter trigger-pull, and they did seem to lightly fade when you would stay on em.
I liked them though.
Vesrahs next season for me 8)
30 stoppies, then let them cool. One easy practice session, at about a street pace, then let them cool. Go racing. If you have scuba gear, there is a perfectly bedded-in set of EBC pads at the bottom of the lake at Gingerman. You're welcome to them.

I've done that before. Just not on purpose. It's hard on the bikes frame. ;D I never noticed what a big head you have. ;D
