Default Monster Break in?

I lost the piece of paper that tells you how to break in a monster stage 3 clutch. Wondering if anybody knows what it is?

Yea what he said and if you go on a long trip don't count that as part of your 500 mile break in...

Heat Cycle, Heat Cycle, Heat Cycle

Got 400 miles on mine and it feels great.

Just try and go through populated areas at rush hour. Some parts of the US this is a pretty easy bet. Just don't over heat in the process!
