Issue might be under the seat where rear indicator's connectors are, or bulbs could be bad(unlikely for both to go bad, but possible), could be ground wire from rear blinkers disconnected (broken...).
The good thing is that fronts are working, following the diagram you can trace signal from the relay to the rear indicator with test lamp.

Hmm, have you checked your fuses?
Yep. Removed the fuse, front doesn't work. Put back in, front works.

Ok, I think I agree with NJ this one. Trace the wiring from the signals to the fuse box looking for any loose grounds or corroded connecters.
I did this but I'm just learning on a new bike so I'll have someone else check too. Thanks for your replies fellas.
By tracing I meant to get an extra lamp with two long wires(control lamp), turn signal 'on' and watch front lamp blink, connect one wire from control lamp to the engine/ground, and with other 'free' wire first connect to relay - your control lamp should be blinking (so you know it works). Now, following the electrical diagram keep poking free wire at every connection spot where signal travels from relay to rear lamp. At some point control lamp will no longer blink - that will tell you where the problem is.
Thanks mate. I'll set a lamp up and give it a shot. Cheers!
