Most likely the 2 filaments are blown, if not grab a meter and check the applied voltage.

Take one out of your car and swap, next best thing.

Yellow wire = Brake light positive
Black wire = Ground negative for all tail lights -

Blue wire = Tail light +

Cheers

Are the front running lights and your instrument backlights working? They all have the same power feed (tail/position fuse) as the rear tail lights, so they'd also be out if a blown fuse.

If those other lights are all working then you have either 2 blown bulb filaments or else a bad connection. There is a connector on the left side of the bike in the tail section. You have to remove the entire rear cowling to get at it.

Bikes down under is differnt, then. We ain't gots no separate fuse fer taillights here!

He didn't say, but I suspect his front running and instrument lights weren't working either and he just hadn't noticed it.

Probably so, but who else has additional fuse boxes under the fuse box?
