clutch break in?

i just wanna make sure theres nothing special to breaking the clutch in on these bikes. i gave the plates a heavy coat of oil and let them sit for a while and because we needed a larger socket they sat soaking in oil with eachother for a few days. im planning on riding easy for my first few times out, no wheelies, no abuse, just gentle like its slippery out. but i cant guarantee that will last more than 5 minutes to be honest, lol. anything else i need to know?

oh and the ebc springs definatly made the lever pull tighter, ive got the stock springs in case i dont end up liking the ebc springs but they didnt seem too bad when i was playing with the lever. i figure if i can get used to a 6 puck stage 4 clutch in my car i can get used to this.
