full disc type clutches have a coating from the factory that gets 'glazed' basically slippery, if you dont allow a decent break in period (500-750).

i think puck types are good to beat on from the start.

i use the standard 500 miles break in period. if you wanna push it, you'll likely have no problems after 300 or so miles of good break in. imo
