As regards removal/replacement of the speed sensor, I changed one when I had the swingarm off to re-grease all the bearings, probably not much help to you but it was a doddle to replace with the swingarm out of the way.
But firstly have you checked all the wiring thoroughly ? You should be getting 5V all the time from the clocks to the speedo sensor (Neither the O.E manual or the Haynes tell you this, I found out through trial & error!) I cant remember exactly which wire it is (will check when im back in the workshop) but I seem to recall it being a black/white wire ? (MAYBE!) if you havent got that 5V feed there follow it back to the clocks. Ive seen about 10 Fazer's/R1's & R6's with speedo faults and everyone of them has had an issue with the 2 multiplugs under the infil trim on the left hand side (by the side of the clocks) either completely corroded contacts or just water ingress.
The worst one I came across needed a new FULL wiring harness as it had too much water damage inside the loom to warrant it's repair (was cheaper to fit a 2nd hand loom).
And lastly you want get an error code for the speed sensor, I think there are only 3 or 4 (R1 & R6 have an error code for the fuel level indicator if I remember correctly) error codes on these which are for the T.P.S, Exup valve & the tilt switch (Yet again I will confirm this tonight when ive checked at the workshop).
I will post up which wires to check tonight after ive had a quick look at the C.F.D, chitsu.
