89 k100rs has optional factory fuel gauge. The needle bounces randomly between full and empty, and anywhere in between..
Seems to be the worst with a full tank.
Where is a good place to start?

have a look at the tank connector , located under the right sidecover

i have found that they are a pita and need cleaning the socket part periodically

in fact mine didnt work for a while, till i did a clean up .

"deoxit" is your friend for such things
