not sure I'm looking at the right schematic for your bike, but it looks to
me like there IS a fuse that could explain your issue
looks to be fuse #10 (out of a total of ten) and the only other thing that
seems to be being powered by the same source is the "Front position light"
(the third eye)
so if that one is also out, I would definitely check the fuse (look for
power on both sides of that fuse using a meter to be sure)
power to that fuse comes via the ignition switch
hope that helps,
Neil

Hope someone can help with this. Am preparing for big-ish trip in 10
days time or so (Five days to cover UK - Toulouse - Milan - Furka and
Susten passes in Switzerland - UK, with about a day of work in Toulouse
along the way). Probably only big trip this year, so looking forward to
it etc.
Just fitted new tyres (Pilot Road 2 - replacing Pilot Road 1s(?) that
worked fine for me). Out on a short run to bed tyres in and noticed that
tail lights weren't working. Stop lights working fine. Both tail lights
out - which made me suspect it wasn't bulbs.
Got home and checked - Tail light bulb filaments working OK, but there is
no power reaching the tail light contact in the rear bulb holders. First
connector after the rear bulb holder looks fine, so loss of power further
back in loom...
Haven't got time between now and Sunday to pull off the panels and trace
fault, so just wondered if anyone has any thoughts about where would be
best to look first? I think it unlikely that anything would have been
done during tyre change - but that's a possibility I suppose. Or maybe a
fuse? Unfortunately I can't reliably remember when I last saw the tail
lights working OK...
Anyhow - any suggestions / thoughts about where I should look would be
much appreciated.
