If you're having a problem with a single brake light, the problem with either be the bulb, the bulb holder or the wiring - start by swapping the bulb from the other side across, and then proceed from there.

Check your grounds as well.  Most lighting issues can be traced back to bad ground wires on the Suzuki's.

I did consider a bad ground - but - the other lamps on the same side (tail, turn, etc.) will also use the same ground, so that should be intact.

Look at where the ground wire connects to the bulb holder.  If it gets corroded it will break the contact and stop working.  It took me a month to find the same problem.  Hope this helps.
