Disconnect the wire from your temperature sender. If that stops it going off the scale then it's a sender issue...if it still shows full scale deflection then you may have a frayed/ trapped part of that wire which is earthing out

Yep, sounds like a faulty temperature sensor. Shouldn't be too hard to replace. Thumbs Up

I believe its not that hard to find due to some of its parts are shared with other later or newer model bikes.
