1983 Suzuki GS 650 fuel gauge work?

I can't tell you for sure if your 1983 Suzuki GS 650 fuel gauge works. Here's why:

* It's a specific question about your motorcycle: I don't have access to your motorcycle's history or current condition.

* Fuel gauges can fail: They are mechanical or electrical components that can wear out, get damaged, or have wiring issues.

Here are some things you can do to figure out if your fuel gauge is working:

1. Check the obvious: Make sure the fuel gauge is actually connected and hasn't become detached or damaged.

2. Test the gauge's movement: When you turn the key to the "on" position, does the needle move at all? Even if it doesn't give an accurate reading, it should at least move a little.

3. Check the float: If the gauge is mechanical, the float in the fuel tank may be stuck or damaged. This can be a more involved check that requires some disassembly.

4. Inspect the wiring: Look for any broken, frayed, or loose wires. This can be a common cause of electrical gauge issues.

5. Consult a service manual: A service manual for your specific motorcycle model will have detailed instructions on how to test the fuel gauge and its associated components.

If you're not comfortable doing any of these checks yourself, it's best to take your motorcycle to a qualified mechanic. They can diagnose the problem and fix it properly.
