+1 on the speed sensor. They can be replaced, or if your a bit ingenious, you can rebuild it out of resin/hot glue, araldite. Did that to one of mine, and it's still there now years later.

It's number 15 they're on about, if the tabs aren't located properly in the slots it's possible to tighten up the nut on the front wheel spindle and they just break off.
Either that or they just break through wear and tear.

Check the speedo cable where it runs past the front brake. I routed mine wrong once and it wore through the insulation and when the edge of the disc contacts the metal conductors you get crazy speed readings

Sounds like a short in the wire- examine the whole length- mine was rubbing against the fork leg grounding the wire which makes the speedo go mad!
