Answer
James,

-Some Goldwings had a 7 volt regulator
that failed and caused the fuel and temperature
gauges to act up.
-the regulator has a black/brown wire from the fuse
and a green/black wire going up to the gauges.

-If only the fuel gauge is reading wrong I suspect
the fuel tank sending unit.

-It should be on the left side of the fuel tank
and should read about 4-10 ohms when full
and about 90-100 ohms when empty.
The wires are yellow/white and green/black.

-you will have to drain the fuel if you
are going to remove it.

-check the connectors and wires for bad connections.
