The battery will be marked as to what voltage it is and you can use a 6/12V car battery charge on low or trickle charge. Don't use boost, you'll fry the battery. Before you do charge the battery borrow a multimeter from a friend and check the battery voltage 12.5 to 14.4V is reasonable for a healthy-ish battery. I suspect you are more likely to have an earthing problem or a fuse problem that is causing the fuel guage/indicator problem. Also, invest in a Haynes Manual. Their troubleshooting sections are quite good these days.

6 volt systems are obselete on Japanese motorcycles. Your battery is almost certainly 12 volt. When you remove the battery it will have 3 cells for 6v and six cells for 12v.
Use a car charger but only for an hour or two, Remove the yellow plugs on the battery and top up the battery (using de-ionised water) before charging.
Wipe the area around the plug holes with kitchen roll before replacing the plugs, once charged.

If the battery is 12 volts then it is possible as the normal car charger is 12 volt. However if the battery is 6 volts then you need a charger that has dual voltage.

Yes, ok as a get you started fix. Don't try and do a full charge though as a car charger will push out more current than the m/c battery will take when full.

only if the charger has 6 volt charge as well as 12 volt you need the 6 volt do not charge on 12 volt you will blow your battery up dont use 12 volt

Make sure your charger does 6v or you could blow battery up
