Default TWO UP RIDING DURING BREAKIN PROCESS

Any reasons not to carry a passenger during the breakin process on a 2007 Ultra, other than the selfish ones.
Comments appreciated.

It's always a good idea especially during Break-in............in case something....uhhh......breaks, they can push.

Might even be a good idea since you need to load engine to break it in - put a battery on the back seat and filled the bags with water to break in my bagger...Moe55 is right too...

I agree here, it forces the rings against the cylinders with more of a load better to seat them as long as you don't lug.
