Are those things even capable of breaking the speed limit?

if you don't fix it and you speed and get pulled over you could be like "Officer, I didn't know I was speeding" Which isn't a lie.

Get a new part? Or use a GPS or GPS enabled cell phone.

Trace the wires and get a voltmeter and check to see if the leads going to the speedometer are fucked or not. Check the wires first to see if they are even connected/grounded. If you're getting power to it and it still doesnt work then you need a new speedometer.

buy a portable gps and mount it to the inside of your helmet visor

alternatively,

only ride on streets with radar signs

Could always mount a bike speedometer if all else fails.

take it to a dealer, or a very good mechanic.

If you start fucking around with the wires yourself, and aren't sure what you're doing, you may void the warranty, or the insurance
