Oil it until oil seeps out the pores of the bearing. The pilot bearing is a porous bronze sleeve that holds a lot of oil. The needle bearing pilot bearings are good for racing and lower friction but not for years of use.

For the average owner that changes the clutch after its worn out after a few years, the bronze pilot bearing is a better choice.
