Yup, probably the fuel sender. Same thing happened to me last month
Terminals on the sender rotted away, caught me by surprise and I had to push Max to the gas station

Under your tank, get down and under the bike and have a look at the bottom of the fuel tank, the sender is probably covered in mud and dirt

In the bottom of the fuel tank.
Drain the tank and then the sender comes out with two bolts. I like to put a piece of tubing in the tank and then put a gas can on the floor. The tank will automatically siphon into a gas can. Its a lot easier than opening the drain plug, trying to catch the fuel in a drip pan, and making a mess.
I've never tried to take it out with the tank on the bike. I would ASSume it is accessible. When I took mine out I drained the tank and removed the tank from the frame because I was having the tank welded.

How do you remove the tank? Need to remove the swingarm or does it come out laterally? I never payed much attention to that but i'll need to do that soon...

Swingarm can stay on but its a lot easier to get it out with it gone.
