Sounds like the sender in the fuel tank. The sender has a rheostat assembly which changes resistance dependent on fuel level in the tank. It may need to be pulled out, cleaned up and checked for continuity through the full movement range of the fuel float.

Yeah, it's a bit of a pain to get to. However, I think it's worth having a working gas gauge, especially if you like taking longer rides. The was I see it, I'd rather not have the engine tell me that I'm out of gas.

Hey so I checked the gauge and cleaned it and it still is not working. Do you know if there is a connection up by the speedometer that can get loose? Thanx
