Default Lighting help on 400EX

I'm new here so please bear with me. i'm having some problems with my lighting on my '01 400EX. i know the headlights are burnt out so i gotta replace those. my taillight isn't burned out but it won't light up at all. i checked the fuse and it was good, any ideas what it might be?? also, it looked like i was missing a fuse.... or is there just one fuse on it? if there are (2) fuses what are the amps on them? i know one is 25 amps. thanks guys

There is only one fuse on the 400ex. There is aspot for a second fuse, but not connected. It is a holder for a spare.

Check the wires, that go to the tail light. It has connections, about 8 or 10 inches, from the bulb. Look to see if you have power there.
