No, you can usually use the pads as they are in the packing though if possible, very light polishing with 180 or 220 grade emery will just take off the production sheen and give you gripper brakes from the outset. That sheen does get rubbed off in a few kilometers of road use though.

I don't let my motorcycles interfere with my motorcycling...
