Stelvio rear wheel - loose spokes ????

Supermoto's run "tubeless" tires with tubes in them all the time. They also run air pressures way lower then you would to generate extra heat.
Again, putting a tube in a tubeless rim/tire combination, other then being stupid, is not going to cause any issues. It has been done in the past for various reasons by more then a few people. There is nothing special about the tire/rim of a Guzzi that makes it a problem. But what does it matter as you now know it has been done and I would assume while you are fixing/tightening the spokes you will be removing the tube.
Again, sorry your dealer is not taking the initiative and fixing the wheel. But how you are staying calm and letting them put you off is beyond me. I would have already lost it in your shoes.
Best of luck.
 
Finally got the crash bar replaced today, only took 10 weeks to come, this is just not good enough I'm afraid. Moto Guzzi are gonna have to up their game or they gonna lose customers . Had a loan of an Aprilia Caponord while the dealer replaced crash bar, replaced leaky seal on carc and fettled non existent rear brake, that is a really good bike and pulls like a train , too short in the leg for me tho :?
