Remove console, disconnect electrical connectors, remove vent hose, remove and discard screws and washers and open fuel tank top to access and remove fuel pump and float modules, pull the removal tab towards the rear of the bike to disengage the sender unit from the mounting tabs and remove the sender unit but be careful not to bend the float arm while removing the sender because a bent float arm will give inaccurate fuel gauge readings.

There should be a "round" plate with some wires connected to it and about five small bolts on it. Make sure the tank is drained and the battery disconnected. Remove the wires making sure you know where they came from and remove the bolts. Lift the plate and the fuel sensor and the float are on the plate. The float is on the end of a long arm. You must not bend the arm as you attempt to remove the float from the tank. It's a tricky job as you must rotate the assembly as you take it out of the tank. Before you do this, check all your electrical connections and the gauge to make sure your problem is in the sensor.
Good luck
