Not only did I discover that mine is the same as yours, but also that my taillight filament was broken. Maybe I'll just go fix that.

Yep Verslagen is right. Only front running lights. I put on rear red LED running lights about $8 ea and 2 minutes to mount. Bell bike lights. Operate on 2 AAA olmost forever (well sort of). Nice thing is, in a blinking mode with the 4way flashers going at the same time it looks like a christmas tree. Great in roadside emergencies.

About a month ago I was riding at night for the first time. I noticed that myfront left turn light was on, but not the right one. However, when I turned on the right turn signal it blinked, but did not stay on as the left one did.

I simply replaced the bulb and now both front lights are on all of the time, but again, not the rear lights unless I am signaling.

I am 69. Need I say more

No running lights on mine, or on the one other savage I've ridden with at night. You don't often see running lights on bikes here in the UK.

I'm guessing it's one of the differences on the UK model. If it is then I wonder what component they swapped out/rewired?

edit/ just checked & any front running lights have to emit white light over here (rear must be red).
