airing up tires question.

One thing that many people don't do that they should is to use hydrogen in lieu of air in their tires. Much lighter than air improving milage. Also makes it easier to find slow leaks. Only downside is that blowouts are harder to bring to a safe stop. My late friend, Norm is the one that taught me this.

Just make sure your air compressor is plugged into the upper receptacle whenever you fill the front tire first. If you plug the compressor into the lower receptacle then you need to fill the rear tire first. If you're using the air hose at a service station this does not apply and you may fill the tires in either sequence. I've been doing this for years and have never had a single problem. Hope this helps.
I've consulted the manual to no avail. When I went down to the dealership and asked this question, they told me it didn't matter which one I did first. They were giggling when they told me this and one of them was even laughing and pointing at me. Go figure.
Now, I'm afraid to ride my bike for fear the tires will blow out or come off the rims. The bike may even go backwards or something, I don't know. Can somebody PLEASE help me?
