G'day Drew from a kiwi in PA. I have a 1985 CB650SC as well, only it
is here with me in PA. The fuel gauge sensor mechanism is inside the
tank. It is a surface area wound with copper wires and sensor
crosses them as the fuel level changes. In your case it sounds like
the float mechanism doesn't have free play. It may just need
cleaning. Remove the tank and you'll see how to access it on the
underside. It's very straight forward, as is cleaning the whole
mechanism.
Hey what happened to Aussie in the Rugby 7's? Graham

My name is Drew. G’day from downunder.
This is my 1985 Nighthawk 650sc - very rare in Australia (perhaps
only one of two that I know of).
It is not concourse but easily immaculate and would almost
certainly win best unrestored classic (over 25 years old) in any
bike show around.
The bike has only done 2968 miles or for the metric amongst us 4776
kilometres.
This bike number 14 for me (including a 1982 CB750F2 supersport)
and it rides better than ALL of them. I like it so much and only
ride it on cruises so I think it will still be around in a decade
or so.

I HAVE ONE QUESTION... it is the only issue I have had with the
bike. The digital fuel gauge is not accurate. It registers full
when it should but goes down too slow so it still registers 3/4
when it hits reserve. Has anyone ever come across this problem
before and how do you fix it.
Thanks
Drew
