Not all tubeless tyres are suitable for putting tubes in. :eek
I have never seen a fazer rim so badly corroded it would leak unless the tyre was fitted without tyre soap. The tyre soap not only aids putting on the tyre also acts as a bit of a sealant. I still think it is the valve needs changing and if it was changed he may have fitted it dry or could also be a bit of dirt stuck on the rubber of the valve core.
