It used to be (three years ago) that dealers would only do a repair if the tyre manufacturer approved it. As far as I know the only manufacurer that approved repairs to the tyres rated for a Fazer was Michellin, who I think allowed two repairs. I could be wrong but as I had a Michallin on at the time I didn't investigate any further. The situation may have changed now.
I wouldn't like to trust one of the DIY repairs that you push in from the outside other than as a get you home measure. I know plenty have probably done several thousand miles with such repairs, but you don't know what damage has been done to the carcass of the tyre.
For me it's a risk I can do without.
