Proper Bedding in Procedure For Porterfields

I recently received my new pads. I was told that once they were in to make a couple of slow to moderate speed stops to avoid thermal shock to the rotors, then to make some hard/high speed stops and that was it. Is this correct or is there anything anyone would like to add?

You have the procedure...I usually do 60-0 stops, about three of them because then the brakes feel like mush. Make sure that you ride around for at least 2-3 miles without touching the brakes so they cool properly. I would also recommend that you change the brake fluid because changes are you just boiled it bedding the brakes.

Good choice on pads, those R4S pads kept me out of a few accident in the past.
