Double-check but my understanding is that there is no break-in procedure for the "Z" pads, but there is a procedure to follow for the "Gold" pads.

Just ride.
You'll like the pads. There is never any brake dust, and they are gentle on the rotors.

I've got 3,000 miles on these rotors, and they're still as smooth as silk.

Just don't lock them up on your first few attempt at stopping.
