This is from the RZV500R worshop manual (published in 1984 ) so it is 51X but i believe that the diagram is same for 1GG .

If you have difficulties with japanese , use https://translate.yandex.com/

look for top left corner of diagram the switch is there . (it is marked "FREE/PUSH" )
As i said , you can use https://translate.yandex.com/ for translating the japanese .
The web site can recognize japanese in image and translate to english .
the image has to be < 5mb . so use gimp or another image editing sofware to cut a small corner of what you are interested in .
also turn the image you summit the proper way for Yandex to OCR the japanese .
(in case English is not you native langage , Yandex can also translate to other languages )

Temp Sensor = GRN/RD wire, which goes to the Function Switch.

Fuel Level Sensor = GRN and BLK wires - GRN wire goes to the Function Switch & BLK wire is ground

Temp/Fuel gauge has 3 wires - BLK is ground, BRN is 12V+ and GRN/RD goes to the Function Switch

Appears to me that the gauge is powered by 12V+ and the Function Switch by default allows the resistance to ground of the Temp Sensor to display on the gauge. Upon pressing the Function switch, it allows the resistance to ground of the Fuel Level Sensor to override the resistance of the Temp Sensor, changing the gauge reading accordingly.

Once you locate the 4 elements (Gauge, Temp Sensor, Fuel Level Sensor & Function Switch), just follow the wires. Hope this helps and good luck!

The sensor fit in the bottom of the tank, On the RZ/RD500 tank the fuel sender is blanked off, its the square just up from the fuel tap, I had a heck of a time finding one for mine, I got one is Japan eventually with a proper RZV tank,
Take a look at the pics here of the tank and you will see where the fuel sender fits.

Could be done I suppose, The only thing is the RZV has a metal plate inside the tank to stop the tank flexing when the sensor is tightened up, I thought about doing mine but ended up buying a tank instead..
