New Clutch - Break in?

My new clutch is in and the bike is back together! I only have like 4 bolts left over, but I'm sure I don't really need those anyway. :whistle

After a little Google-ing, I didn't really see any consensus on a process to break in a new BMW R1200RT dry clutch? A couple car clutch manufactures recommended more stop and go traffic for the first 500 miles (gee, that seems fun).

Which bike? I'm not sure it matters but the F800 wet clutch and R1200 dry clutch behave differently.

My 2007 R1200RT

I found lots of stuff about wet clutches (oil bath before install blah blah blah) but not much about the BMW dry clutch...
 
OK. New clutch. What parts? Disk, pressure plate, clutch housing, spring? Or what. This can have a big difference on how the clutch behaves.
