Your Fazer is very new to have that. And I never heard that hapenning on even older Fazers. Theoretically is possible. What worries me your tyre "tech" uses the word "possible"? That means he has done not good job finding the leak. Does he ever immersed the whole tyre in a water tank to find the leak at all?
If not you need better tyre tech.
There may be zillion other thinks too. Like valves. Because of clamp weights. Cracks on wheels. Different tyre punctures.
If the corrosion in the beads is the problem, most tyre outlets will take off the tyre, clean off the worst of the corrosion and refit the tyre using a sealant that is specially made for the job.
Obviously your tyre "tech" has not find the leak and has not done the cleaning and sealant bit does he?
